Abstract excerpt
The etiology of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (iSSNHL) remains unclear, and genome-wide genetic evidence is limited. We conducted a multicenter Japanese case-control genome-wide association study including 192 clinically defined iSSNHL cases and 15,302 controls aged ≥80 years without a history of hearing loss. After cross-platform SNP harmonization and imputation (Eagle/Minimac4), association...
