Abstract excerpt
Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is one of the most common occupational health risks in industrialized countries. It has been recognized to result from interactions between genetic and environmental factors. This study investigated the influence of genetic mutations in the potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily E regulatory subunit 1 (KCNE1) gene on susceptibility to NIHL. A total of 2689 industrial workers...
