| Research Abstract |
We have obtained significant difference of hearing in high-frequency between 70' years old persons for their SNPs genotype of COCH, encoding In addition, SNPs in MyosinVIIa(Myo7a) showed the strong involvement in ARHI. These results suggest that COCH and Myo7a are novel factors, which do not play a role in congenital hearing impairment but play a role in acquired hearing disease such as ARHI. Further studying will be necessary to confirm our finding and for their functional role in ARHI.
