Whole-genome sequencing, as a powerful diagnostic tool in hearing loss, reveals novel variants in PTPRQ missed by whole-exome sequencing

Whole-genome sequencing, as a powerful diagnostic tool in hearing loss, reveals novel variants in PTPRQ missed by whole-exome sequencing

Abstract Background/objectives Hearing loss (HL) is one of the most common congenital disorders, affecting 1-2 in 1,000 newborns. Modern genetic diagnostics using large gene panels and/or whole exome analysis (WES) can identify disease-causing mutations in 25-50 % of patients, with higher solve rate...
