Abstract
Deafness is a common ear disease with sensorineural dysfunction. It is one of the most common causes of disability, which seriously affects the quality of human life. Hereditary deafness accounts for about 60% of deafness. Hereditary deafness can be divided into syndromic hearing impairmentus and non-syndromic hearing impairment. Syndromic hearing impairment is a hereditary syndrome in which deafness is associated with other clinical symptoms. Non-syndromic hearing impairment is a hereditary disease with single hearing loss as a clinical symptom. This article reviews the research progress of genetic genes in non-syndromic hearing impairment in order to explore the etiology and pathogenesis of deafness at molecular level.
Key words:
Deafness; Gene; non-syndromic hearing impairment
