Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hereditary hearing loss is a genetically heterogeneous disorder posing challenges for molecular diagnosis. This study aimed to characterize the mutation spectrum, including rare and previously unreported variants, using a tiered strategy in a Han Chinese cohort from Southwest China. METHODS: In this retrospective study, 43 patients underwent targeted hotspot screening, followed by whole-exome...
