PNA PROBE FOR DETECTING HEREDITARY HEARING LOSS, AND METHOD FOR DETECTING HEREDITARY HEARING LOSS USING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probe for detecting hereditary hearing loss, and a method for detecting hereditary hearing loss using the same. It is expected that the PNA probe for detecting hereditary hearing loss and the method for detecting hereditary hearing loss using the same, according to the present invention, would allow genes associated with hearing loss or mutants thereof to be quickly and simply discriminated, and can be used to diagnose hereditary hearing loss at an early stage and diagnose non-syndromic hearing loss and a degree of risk using 11 mutations of GJB2, SLC26A4, 12S rRNA, CDH23 and TMPRSS3 genes which are the main causes of hereditary hearing loss.
