Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Because genetic factors may contribute partly to the etiologies of inner ear diseases, we investigated the association between genetic polymorphisms located in genes related to the free-radical process or inflammatory pathway and susceptibility to sudden deafness. We found that NOS 3 and uncoupling protein 2 polymorphisms were significantly associated with the risk of sudden deafness.
