SUMMARY:“State of the art in genetic diagnostics of sensorineural hearin
 g loss”  - Dr. Ronald Pennings\, University of Cambridge\, Department o
 f Chemistry
DTSTART:20251016T110000Z

CONTACT:Lucy Theobald
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This presentation will offer a comprehensive overvie
 w of the advancements in genetic diagnostics over the past several decades
 \, tracing the trajectory from early gene identification studies conducted
  in large families affected by sensorineural hearing loss during the 1990s
 \, to the recent clinical implementation of genome sequencing using a targ
 eted deafness gene panel encompassing over 285 genes. The presentation wil
 l also reflect on key insights gained throughout this period and will conc
 lude with a forward-looking perspective underscoring the critical importan
 ce of establishing a genetic diagnosis\, particularly in the context of em
 erging gene therapies for inner ear disorders.
