Abstract excerpt
Non-syndromic hearing loss (NSHL) is characterized by a vast genetic heterogeneity; some syndromic forms as Usher syndrome (USH) have onset as isolated deafness and then evolve later in life. We developed an NGS targeted gene-panel containing 59 genes and a customized bioinformatic pipeline for the analysis of DNA samples from clinically highly selected subjects with sensorineural hearing loss, previously...
