Description
Seung Hyun Jang, Kuhn Yoon, and Heon Yung Gee review, in a 2024 article, the common genetic causes of sensorineural hearing loss in Koreans. Hearing loss is the most common sensory disorder, and genetic factors contribute substantially to it. A definite molecular diagnosis is difficult, because many different genes can be involved and the same variant can produce different levels of severity.
The review covers the genetic causes of nonsyndromic hearing loss in Koreans, in which hearing loss occurs without other symptoms. For each common variant, the authors describe the clinical features, the relationship between genotype and phenotype, and how the variant damages hearing. They also briefly discuss possible genetic factors in age-related hearing loss identified through genome-wide association studies. Understanding these causes, they argue, supports more precise diagnosis and the development of targeted treatments.
