Abstract

The a of the project is to develop a fast and effective method to detect major changes in nuclear and mitochondrial genes involved in non-syndromic deafness, and then make an assessment of cost-effective method developed for use in diagnosis in many individuals with immediate public policy implications of deafness in the country.
