Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the GJB2, SLC26A4, GJB3, and MT-RNR1 genes are known to be a common cause of hearing loss. However, the frequency of hot-spot mutations and genotype-phenotype correlations in patients with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) has been less frequently reported. We conducted a study of 103 children-56 boys and 47 girls, aged 5 months to 9 years (mean: 4.1 yr)-with SNHL who underwent genetic screening for...
