Genome-wide association study meta-analysis brings monogenic hearing loss genes into the polygenic realm

Royce Ellen Clifford, Jacquelyn Johnson, Caroline E. Mackey, Elizabeth A. Mikita, Allen Frederic Ryan, Million Veteran Program, Adam X. Maihofer, Caroline M. Nievergelt

This paper conducts a GWAS meta-analysis of sensorineural hearing loss, identifying 108 loci, including 54 novel genes, and shows substantial genetic overlap between cohorts despite differing phenotypes.
