Abstract excerpt
The analysis of inherited diseases in the domestic dog (Canis familiaris) provides a resource for the continued use of this species as a model system for human diseases. Many different dog breeds are affected by congenital sensorineural deafness. Since mutations in various genes have already been found causative for sensorineural hearing impairment in humans or mice, 20 of these genes were considered as...
