Abstract excerpt
Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a multifactorial disease caused by environmental, genetic and epigenetic variables. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification that regulates biological processes. The objective of this study was to determine the link between genetic variation in the chromobox 4 (CBX4) and the risk of NIHL. This study applied a case-control design with 588 cases and 582 controls, and the...
