In our recent study [27], we performed a thorough analysis of the SLC26A4 gene by Sanger sequencing in the large cohorts of patients with hearing loss belonging to two neighboring indigenous Turkic-speaking Siberian peoples (Tuvinians and Altaians) (in the Tyva Republic and the Altai Republic, Southern Siberia, Russia). This evidence concerns the gene SLC26A4 and hearing loss disorder.
