Abstract excerpt
Mouse models are one of the major tools used for discovery and characterization of genes for non-syndromic deafness in humans. The similarities between the mouse and human genomes, and between the physiology and morphology of their auditory systems, are striking. This article describes the latest mouse models, including spontaneous, 'knockout' and ENU (N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea)-induced mutants, and the recent...
