A Study On GJB2 And GJB6 Gene Mutations Among Malays With Non-Syndromic Hearing Loss

Hearing loss is the most common congenital sensory defects in human. About one in a thousand newborn in the world is born with the abnormality, which may vary from mild level of hearing loss to profound loss. This loss can be caused by two factors, genetic and environmental factors and more than 50%...
