The Frequency of Common Deafness-Associated Variants Among 3,555,336 Newborns in China and 141,456 Individuals Across Seven Populations Worldwide.

These data can serve as a powerful resource for otolaryngologists and clinical geneticists to inform population-adjusted genetic screening programs for hearing loss.
