Project
Analysis of monogenic forms of deafness using dense genome-wide SNP data.
The aim of this project is the identification of new loci for hereditary nonsyndromic forms of hearing loss. A unique collection of 30 highly informative Iranian families, with a high degree of consanguinity, is available. After an initial screening for recurrent mutations, a genome wide search is carried out using the most advanced techniques for genotyping using DNA chips, after which the diseases locus is pinpointed using linkage analysis.
