Identification of sequence variants associated with severe microtia-astresia by targeted sequencing
28 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Microtia-atresia is characterized by abnormalities of the auricle (microtia) and aplasia or hypoplasia of the external auditory canal, often associated with middle ear abnormalities. To date, no causal genetic mutations or genes have been identified in microtia-atresia patients. METHODS: We designed a panel of 131 genes associated with external/middle or inner ear deformity. Targeted genomic capturing...
