At the speed of sound: gene discovery in the auditory system.

Abstract excerpt

As auditory genes and deafness-associated mutations are discovered at a rapid rate, exciting opportunities have arisen to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying hearing and hearing impairment. Single genes have been identified to be pathogenic for dominant or recessive forms of nonsyndromic hearing loss, syndromic hearing loss, and, in some cases, even multiple forms of hearing loss. Modifier loci and genes...
