Multidimensional analysis of screening results of deafness susceptibility genes in 3066 newborns of different altitudes and nationalities in Xining, Qinghai(ISRCTN89197487)

Distribution and detection rates of deafness-susceptible genes among different ethnic groups.
A: Distribution of the proportions of detected cases carrying deafness-susceptible genes among different ethnic groups. Among these groups, the Han population accounted for the largest proportion, reaching 69.70%, followed by the Tibetan and Hui populations, each representing 14.55%. The Mongolian population accounted for 1.21%. Additionally, 10 ethnic groups-including the Tu, Salar, Manchu, Kazakh, Buyi, Achang, Dongxiang, Uyghur, Miao, and Zhuang-had no detected carriers of deafness-susceptible genes and are therefore not shown in the figure. B: Comparison of the overall detection rates of deafness-susceptible genes among different ethnic groups. The results show that the Mongolian population exhibited the highest detection rate, at 6.67%, followed by the Han (5.80%), Hui (5.04%), and Tibetan (4.49%) populations. No deafness-susceptible genes were detected in the remaining ten ethnic groups.
