Newborn Screening of Genetic Mutations in Common Deafness Genes With Bloodspot-Based Gene Chip Array.

Conclusions: High mutation rates in the common deafness genes were detected in newborns in Northwest China. Our study is helpful in understanding the deafness genomic epidemiology and also provides evidence for prenatal and postnatal care as well as policy making on population health in the region.
