Study on the Correlation between SlC26A4 Gene and Large Vestibular Aqueduct Syndrome

Researches in the last ten years show that the enlargement of vestibular aqueduct( EVA) is a very common congenital disease leading to hearing loss caused by the mutations in SLC26A4 gene. More and more EVA patients have been identified to be related with SLC26A4 mutations,with the development of gene test. The correlations between SLC26A4 gene and EVA and gene test is summarized in this article.
