Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Sensorineural hearing impairment (SNHI), a common childhood disorder with heterogeneous genetic causes, can lead to delayed language development and psychosocial problems. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) offers high-throughput screening and high-sensitivity detection of genetic etiologies of SNHI, enabling clinicians to make informed medical decisions, provide tailored treatments, and improve...
