Correlation between single-nucleotide polymorphisms at the rs3745453 locus of the miR-23a gene and sudden sensorineural hearing loss in the Han population

These findings suggest that miR-23a expression levels may serve as an independent diagnostic biomarker for SSNHL, while the miR-23a expression and rs3745453 polymorphism are associated with increased susceptibility to adult-onset SSNHL.
