Abstract:Background
The relationship between CDH23 gene variants and NIHL is unclear. This study investigates the association between
cadherin 23
(
CDH23
) gene variants and noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL).
Methods
This is a case-control study. Workers who were exposed to noise from a steel factory in North China were recruited and divided into two groups: the case group (both ears’ high-frequency threshold average [BHFTA] … Show more
