Abstract excerpt
The etiology of hearing loss (HL) is heterogeneous. It is estimated that 50-60% of the cases have a genetic background, with the other part being environmental. Isolated HL is responsible for nearly two-thirds of congenital cases, and the remaining part accounts for syndromic forms (SHL). The study aim was to examine the molecular basis of HL in 48 Polish patients with isolated, non-DFNB1 hearing loss using the...
