Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hereditary hearing loss (HHL) exhibits considerable genetic heterogeneity. Among the known causative genes, MYO7A is frequently linked to autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL), contributing to auditory dysfunction through impaired inner ear cellular mechanics. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify the genetic cause of ARNSHL in a Korean family (SR-323) and to assess the...
