18 Oct 2021
Abstract excerpt
Hearing loss (HL) is one of the most common disabilities in the world. In industrialized countries, HL occurs in 1-2/1,000 newborns, and approximately 60% of HL is caused by genetic factors. Next generation sequencing (NGS) has been widely used to identify many candidate genes and variants in patients with HL, but the data are scattered in multitudinous studies. It is a challenge for scientists, clinicians, and...
