Abstract excerpt
Modifier-of-deafwaddler (mdfw) and waltzer (Cdh23v) are loci on mouse chromosome 10 encoding factors that are essential for the function of auditory hair cells. The BALB/cByJ-specific mdfw allele encodes a necessary and sufficient modifier that induces progressive early onset hearing loss in CBy-dfw2J heterozygotes. Recessive mutations in the waltzer locus result in circling behavior and congenital deafness. In...
