COL11A1 and hearing loss disorder: A previous study reported a link between COL11A1 and Type II Stickler syndrome, which is associated with sensorineural hearing loss.[44] In a GWAS by Clifford et al.,[17] the effect size of rs143424888 in the COL11A1 gene was unchanged after further adjustment for hearing difficulty as a covariate, suggesting that this variant may be tinnitus‐specific.
