Genetic Diagnostics and Therapeutic Approaches for Hereditary Auditory Disorders

medizinischegenetik 2 - 2020
Wissenschaftliche Koordination: Thomas Haaf, Barbara Vona
Kurze Zusammenfassung
Hearing loss (HL) is the most common sensory disorder and, from a human genetic perspective, an extremely heterogeneous and challenging disease. Recent statistics from the World Health Organization estimate that HL affects approximately 466 million individuals globally, which corresponds to roughly 6 % of the world population [1]. Its etiology falls under three umbrellas; namely, acquired, idiopathic, or genetic, with most idiopathic cases suspected to have a genetic cause.
