Multidimensional analysis of screening results of deafness susceptibility genes in 3066 newborns of different altitudes and nationalities in Xining, Qinghai(ISRCTN89197487)
Fig 25
Distribution of Detection Rates of Deafness-Susceptibility Genes Among Different Ethnic Groups in High-Altitude Areas: As shown in the figure, the Mongolian newborns exhibited the highest detection rate of deafness-susceptibility genes in high-altitude regions, reaching 8.33% (95%).
The Hui population ranked second, with a detection rate of 5.68%, which was higher than that of the Han population (5.18%). The Tibetan population showed the lowest detection rate, at only 2.81% (95%). No deafness-susceptibility genes were detected among the other ethnic groups.
