Epigenome-Wide DNA Methylation in Hearing Ability: New Mechanisms for an Old Problem

Epigenetic regulation of gene expression has been shown to change over time and may be associated with environmental exposures in common complex traits. Age-related hearing impairment is a complex disorder, known to be heritable, with heritability estimates of 57–70%. Epigenetic regulation might exp...
