Ours is the first report which shows a significant association of ISL1 variants (rs2303751 and rs121913540) with hearing-related disorder like otitis media in humans. These results implicate the possible role of ISL1 gene in the etiopathology of otitis media. The replication of the study in other ethnic populations may strengthen our findings.
