Background
Hearing loss is a common sensorineural dysfunction with a high incidence in China. Although genetic factors are important causes of hearing loss, hearing-related gene detection has not been widely adopted in China.
Objective
Establishing a rapid and efficient method to simultaneously detect hotspot hearing loss gene mutations.
Methods
A reverse dot blot assay combined with a flow-through hybridization technique was developed for the simultaneous detection of 13 hotspot mutations of 4 hearing loss–related genes including
Results
The technique can detect 13 hotspot mutations of 4 hearing loss–related genes. And a total of 213 blood samples were used to evaluate the availability of this method.
Discussion
Our reverse dot blot assay was a simple, rapid, accurate, and cost-effective method to identify hotspot mutations of 4 hearing loss–related genes in a Chinese population.
