Expression pattern of the mouse ortholog of the Pendred’s syndrome gene ( Pds ) suggests a key role for pendrin in the inner ear

Abstract excerpt

Pendred's syndrome is an autosomal-recessive disorder characterized by deafness and goiter. After our recent identification of the human gene mutated in Pendred's syndrome (PDS), we sought to investigate in greater detail the expression of the gene and the function of its encoded protein (pendrin). Toward that end, we isolated the corresponding mouse ortholog (Pds) and performed RNA in situ hybridization on mouse...
