Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a complex disease caused by environmental and genetic risk factors. This study explored the relationship between the genetic variations in the CASP gene and the risk of developing NIHL among Chinese workers exposed to occupational noise. METHODS: A case-control study of 272 NIHL workers and 272 normal-hearing workers matched for age, sex and years of noise exposure...
