The implementation of universal screening programs to detect hearing defects in newborns
has dramatically increased the identification of hearing loss in infants. Recent advances in …

During the past three to four decades, the incidence of acquired sensorineural hearing loss
(SNHL) in children living in more developed countries has fallen, as a result of improved …

Mutations in Atp2b2, an outer hair cell gene, cause dominant hearing loss in humans. Using
a mouse model Atp2b2 Obl/+, with a dominant hearing loss mutation (Oblivion), we show …

Hearing loss is the most common sensory deficit in humans, affecting 1 in 500 newborns.
Due to its genetic heterogeneity, comprehensive diagnostic testing has not previously been …

Objectives/Hypothesis To perform a systematic review of GJB2‐associated hearing loss to
describe genotype distributions and auditory phenotype. Data Sources 230 primary studies …

Hearing loss is a common and complex condition that can occur at any age, can be inherited
or acquired, and is associated with a remarkably wide array of etiologies. The diverse …

METHODS This study was done on probands with ARNSHI and their relatives from Spain,

Background Patterns of homozygosity can be influenced by several factors, such as
demography, recombination, and selection. Using the goat SNP50 BeadChip, we genotyped …

Heterozygosity-rich regions (HRR) are genomic regions of high heterozygosity, which may
harbor loci related to key functional traits such as immune response, survival rate, fertility …
