Abstract excerpt
Inflammation is a complicated process and is considered to be responsible for the development of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). CARD8 is an important component of inflammasome that has been implicated in inflammation. To decide the relationship between the polymorphisms of CARD8 gene and NIHL risk and deduce the potential mechanism, three SNPs (rs2043211, rs1062808, and rs12459322) were genotyped in a Chinese...
