Comorbid Auditory and Visual Dysfunction: From Pathogenic Genes to Gene Therapy

Abstract excerpt

Hearing and vision are the most important sensory functions. Genetic studies have revealed that specific genetic mutations can concurrently induce auditory and visual dysfunction. The comorbid deafness-blindness prevent mutual sensory compensation, thereby severely delaying speech, cognitive, and intellectual development in affected pediatric patients and imposing a profound burden on their families. In this revie...
