Consanguinity and deafness in Omani children
Consanguinity and deafness in Omani children is a scholarly work, published in 2008 in ''International Journal of Audiology''. The main subjects of the publication include medicine, consanguinity, Oman, hearing loss, deafness, tribe, medical research, demography, sibling, consanguine marriage, pediatrics, cousin, and population. The authors have demonstrated a higher rate of consanguinity amongst parents of deaf children in Oman and suggest this is associated with a higher frequency of autosomal recessive deafness in this paediatric population.
