Abstract excerpt
Thyroid hormone and the beta isoform of its receptor, Trb, are essential for normal development of the mammalian auditory system. We have analyzed auditory system function and structure in a mouse strain with a targeted Thrb mutation, Thrb(PV), which leads to the loss of binding of thyroid hormone (T3) to the Trb protein. Heterozygosity for the orthologous human THRB(PV) mutation and other similar mutations in...
