Abstract excerpt
Nonsyndromic hearing loss (NSHL) is a highly prevalent, genetically heterogeneous condition, yet its molecular basis in the Singaporean population remains underexplored. We performed whole-exome sequencing and integrative bioinformatics analysis in 115 patients with NSHL to define population-specific genetic biomarkers. A molecular diagnosis was achieved in 57% of cases, with 76% of identified variants classified...
