Deafness is the most prevalent sensory system impairment of human,and 70% of genetic deafness belongs to nonsyndromic hearing impairment.The total number of genes involved in nonsyndromic hereditary deafness has been estimated to above 100.So far,approximate 80 loci have been mapped to human chromosome,and 23 genes have been identified.In this article,these 23 genes were summarized systematically and some databases about hereditary deafness were provided for reference.
