Abstract excerpt
The purposes of the current study were to investigate the association of a few of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the AKT2 gene and noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) susceptibility and explore the potential mechanism underlying NIHL. Three SNPs (rs2304186, rs41275750, and rs76524493) were genotyped in a Chinese population which consists of 690 NIHL patients and 650 normal hearing controls....
