A study of 212 Indian children at the V.A. Naik School for Deaf was undertaken to determine the aetiology of their deafness. Undifferentiated autosomal recessive deafness was more frequent among Muslim patients--a population with a high incidence of consanguineous marriages--than among Tamils and Hindus. Although fewer than expected genetic syndromes were identified, Waardenburg's syndrome was present in 2% of the pupils. A firm diagnosis of acquired deafness was obtained in 32 children (15%).
对V.A.奈克聋哑学校的212名印度儿童进行了一项研究，以确定他们耳聋的病因。未分化的常染色体隐性耳聋在穆斯林患者中比在泰米尔人和印度教徒中更常见，穆斯林人群近亲结婚的发生率很高。虽然确定的遗传综合征比预期的少，但2%的学生患有瓦登伯格综合征。32名儿童（15%）被确诊为后天性耳聋。
