Segregation of Trans Mutations in the CDH23 Gene in an Emirati Family with Sensorineural Hearing Loss
This study emphasizes the complexity of genetic factors in hearing loss, particularly in highly consanguineous populations. The identification of both nonsense and missense mutations in the <i>CDH23</i> gene enhances understanding of its role in hearing loss and provides essential insights for genetic counseling and future therapeutic strategies.
