READ MOREEpigenetic Differences in Inflammation Genes and Parental Emotional Availability
Abstract The inflammatory response is an immune defense engaged immediately after injury or infection. Chronic inflammation can be deleterious for various health outcomes and is characterized by high levels of pro-inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP), cytokines interleukin 6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor…
READ MOREDe Novo SIX1 Variant and Nonsyndromic Cochleovestibular Nerve Abnormality
Abstract Background: Childhood hearing impairment affects language and cognitive development. Profound congenital sensorineural hearing impairment can be due to an abnormal cochleovestibular nerve (CVN) and cochleovestibular malformations, however, the etiology of these conditions remains unclear. Methods: We used a trio‐based exome sequencing approach to unravel…
