Clinical and genetic characterisation of childhood-onset sensorineural hearing loss reveal associated phenotypes and enrichment of pathogenic founder mutations in the Finnish population
SNHL is genetically and clinically heterogeneous. Pathogenic variants in <i>GJB2</i> were the most common. Several population-enriched variants were identified as causing SNHL in the northern Finnish population. Associated medical phenotypes are common and should be taken into account in patients' follow-up and treatment.
