Abstract excerpt
Hearing impairment (HI) is the most common neurosensory disorder globally and is reported to be more prevalent in low-income countries. In high-income countries, up to 50% of congenital childhood HI is of genetic origin. However, there are limited genetic data on HI from sub-Saharan African populations. In this study, we investigated the genetic causes of HI in the Malian populations, using whole-exome...
