Unconventional myosins and the genetics of hearing loss.

American journal of medical genetics - 24 Sept 1999

Friedman T B, Sellers J R, Avraham K B

Abstract excerpt

Mutations of the unconventional myosins genes encoding myosin VI, myosin VIIA and myosin XV cause hearing loss and thus these motor proteins perform fundamental functions in the auditory system. A null mutation in myosin VI in the congenitally deaf Snell's waltzer mice (Myo6(sv)) results in fusion of stereocilia and subsequent progressive loss of hair cells, beginning soon after birth, thus reinforcing the vital...
