- Abstract
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is the most common congenital disease. Longitudinal studies of infants with congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection have demonstrated an association between CMV and SNHL. However, because of the lack of suitable neonatally collected specimens, the proportion of CMV-associated SNHL has not been defined, nor has the relationship between CMV and the major genetic causes of SNHL, such as mutations in the GJB2 gene.
