Genetic hearing impairment affects around 1 in every 2,000 births. The bulk (approximately 70%) of genetic deafness is non-syndromic, in which hearing impairment is not associated with any other abnormalities. Over 25 loci involved in non-syndromic deafness have been mapped and mutations in connexin 26 have been identified as a cause of non-sydromic deafness. One locus for non-syndromic recessive deafness, DFNB2...
