This contract is intended to fund several aspects of a continuing collaborative study regarding nonsyndromic hereditary hearing impairment being carried out among families in Pakistan. Continued clinical evaluation of the families needs to be performed. Continued enrollment of new families needs to occur. Another aspect of this contract is to benefit from the presence of a long established and highly respected research center in a region of the world where many families practice consanguinity.
