Whole-exome sequencing efficiently detects rare mutations in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss.

Identification of the pathogenic mutations underlying autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) is difficult, since causative mutations in 39 different genes have so far been reported. After excluding mutations in the most common ARNSHL gene, GJB2, via Sanger sequencing, we performed wh...
