| Research Abstract |
It is well known that the fundamental cause responsible for congenital deafness is brought about by the gene mutations. Furthermore, deafened subjects also suffer from disequilibrium. My previous study suggested that the gene of connexin26 (GJB2), the most prevalent form of deafness genes, influenced vestibular system as well auditory function. In the present study, I aimed to resolve the underlying mechanism pf the vestibular function on the basis of objective evaluation of both excise and vestibular function in addition to the analysis of multiple deafness genes, which may be defined as the imbalance gene.
