Abstract Recessive mutations in SLC26A4 and rarer cases double heterozygous of FOXI1/SLC26A4 KCNJ10/SLC26A4 lead to hearing impairment associated with enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA), the most common inner ear malformation. In our large cohort study, we addressed several important questions molecular etiology this disorder. The overall prevalence nonsyndromic childhood sensorineural loss (11.2%, 37/330) were determined by sequencing 330 impaired children who did not undergo radiologic...

Abstract Objective To discover diverse genotype-phenotype associations affiliated with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) via genome-wide association study (GWAS) and phenome-wide (PheWAS), more cases (T2DM subjects) controls (subjects without T2DM) are required to be identified (e.g., Electronic Health Records (EHR)). However, existing expert based identification algorithms often suffer in a low recall rate could miss large number of valuable samples under conservative filtering standards. The...

Imaging examinations, such as ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography scans, play key roles in healthcare settings. To assess improve the quality of diagnosis, we need to manually find compare pre-existing reports pathology examinations which contain overlapping exam body sites from electrical medical records (EMRs). The process retrieving those is time-consuming. In this paper, propose a convolutional neural network (CNN) based method can better utilize semantic...
