New registry aims to unlock secrets of rare genetic hearing loss
NCT ID NCT06680934
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is building a registry of 100 people with hearing loss caused by changes in the CABP2 gene. Researchers will collect hearing test results and genetic information to learn how the condition progresses over time. The goal is to better understand the disease, not to test a treatment.
