Mutation screening in a large series of Japanese hearing loss patients using massively parallel DNA sequencing analysis.

In the present study, mutation screening in a large series of Japanese hearing loss (HL) patients to clarify the prevalence and clinical characteristics of each deafness causative genes. Massively parallel DNA sequencing of 63 or 68 target genes were performed in 2969 unrelated Japanese HL patients to identify genomic variations responsible for HL.
