Abstract excerpt
Inbred mouse strains with age-related hearing loss (AHL) provide valuable models for studying the genetic basis of human presbycusis. Here we report the genetic mapping of a second AHL locus in mice (designated Ahl2) that is a major contributor to the 8- to 10-month difference in hearing loss onset times between NOD/LtJ and C57BL/6J mice. A whole-genome linkage scan of 110 progeny from a...
