Abstract excerpt
AIMS: We attempted to identify the genetic epidemiology of hereditary hearing loss among the Chinese Han population using next-generation sequencing (NGS). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The entire length of the genes GJB2, SLC26A4, and GJB3, as well as exons of 57 additional candidate genes were sequenced from 116 individuals suffering from hearing loss. RESULTS: Thirty potentially causative mutations from these 60...
