Abstract excerpt
SLC26A4 is a major causative gene for hereditary hearing loss, its mutation spectrum shows pronounced population specificity. In Chinese populations, patients predominantly carry biallelic mutations, and compound heterozygous genotypes are prevalent, which results in a wide spectrum of auditory phenotypes. However, how different alleles interact within these contexts to shape phenotypic variability remains poorly...
