Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Despite the high genetic heterogeneity of hearing loss, mutations in the GJB2 gene are a major cause of autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (NSHL) worldwide. However, the mutation profile of GJB2 in NSHL is under-investigated in Morocco, especially among simplex cases. This study aimed to identify the spectrum and frequency of GJB2 mutations in the Moroccan population among simplex and...
