The Diverse Genetic Landscape of Hearing Impairment in South African Families
South African Families with Nonsyndromic (N = 24) and Syndromic Hearing Impairment (N = 21) with ≥ 2 affected members were analyzed. The underlying etiology was uncovered using exome and Sanger sequencing for 31 of these families. ABSTRACT To elucidate the genetic etiology of hearing impairment (HI) in South Africa, 45 nonsyndromic HI (NSHI) and ...
