Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Disabling sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) affects 5% of the global population. While congenital (CHL) and non-congenital sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) are both strongly heritable, SNHL is a polygenic disorder, consisting of common genetic variants which individually confer small risks, requiring large studies for significance. METHODS: We present the first report of a SNHL genome-wide association...
