Localization of a novel autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing impairment locus DFNB63 to chromosome 11q13.3-q13.4.

abstract：:CYP2C19, a member of the cytochrome P450 family, metabolises arachidonic acid to produce epoxyeicosanoid acids, which are involved in vascular tone and inflammation. Thus, this study describes the possible relationship between a CYP2C19 polymorphism (681G>A) and three inflammatory markers: interleukin (IL)-6, tumor ne...
