Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Investigate the genetic components of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) by performing genome-wide meta-analyses using the data from FinnGen and Estonian Biobank. METHODS: We studied genome-wide associations of SNHL in FinnGen and the Estonian Biobank in the general population and in sex- and age-of-onset stratified subgroups. The study-specific GWASs were combined through inverse variance-weighted...
