Genetic Landscape of Hearing Loss in Brazilian Patients Reveals Population‐Specific Variants and Clinical Correlations

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
The Burden: Hearing loss (HL) is the most prevalent sensory disorder globally, affecting 1.5 million individuals in Brazil. The Gap: While > 150 genes are linked to HL, the genetic architecture in underrepresented populations like Brazil is poorly defined. The Problem: This lack of data limits diagnostic yield and the application of precision medicine.
