摘要
The effects of genetic factors on the noise-induced hearing loss （NIHL） are still unclear. In the present study, eight single-nucleotide polymorphisms （SNPs） included rs1227049 and rs3802711 （CDH23）, rs1695 （GSTP1）, rs137852540 （GJB2）, rs2289274 （PMCA2）, rs4880 （SOD2）, rs7943316, and rs769214 within CAT that might associated with NIHL were further validated in Chinese workers. The results showed that the carriers of the T allele （AT＋TT） of rs7943316 and A allele （GA＋AA） of rs769214, were significantly associated with an increased risk of NIHL compared to those with AA genotype （P〈0.05） and GG genotype （P〈0.05）. Moreover, a significant three-locus model （P=0.0107） involving rs2016520, rs9794, and rs1805192 were observed that might associated with NIHL, with 53.95% of testing accuracy. Thus, our present study provided the evidence that GJB2, SOD2, and CAT genes might account for the NIHL development in independently and/or in an interactive manner.
