Creation of a DNA Repository to Identify Deafness Genes
| Status: Ongoing | Begin date: July 1, 2001 | End date: June 30, 2007 |
Description
This project is a collaborative effort between Gallaudet (Department of Biology and the Gallaudet Research Institute) and the Department of Human Genetics at the Medical College of Virginia to establish a large repository of DNA samples from deaf individuals and their families. These DNA samples are screened for common forms of deafness and then made available to other investigators for studies of hereditary deafness.
