这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目及 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 本研究的目的是确定导致或促成年龄相关性听力损失的基因，并为诊断、康复和预防提供科学依据。 本研究的参与者将提供血液样本（约2茶匙）用于临床血液检查，包括遗传学检查。 确定导致或促成疾病或性状的基因的研究是试图了解基因在人类疾病中的作用的一种越来越重要的方式。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The purpose of this study is to identify genes that cause or contribute to age-related hearing loss and to provide a scientific basis for diagnosis, rehabilitation and prevention. Participants in this study will provide blood samples (approximately 2 teaspoons) for clinical blood tests, including genetics. Research to identify genes that cause or contribute to a disease or trait is an increasingly important way to try to understand the role of genes in human disease.
