Otosclerosis

Otosclerosis is a fairly common inherited condition that can lead to hearing loss. Wikipedia

Some SNPs appear to decrease the risk of developing otosclerosis:

• rs3914132 in the RELN gene (C allele lowers risk)
• rs3178250 in the BMP2 gene (C allele lowers risk)

Other SNPs associated with otosclerosis are:

• rs39395
• rs17563 in the BMP4 gene (risk allele G)
• a SNP in the TGBF1 gene [1]
