Deafness genes and the mechanism of hearing.

Abstract excerpt

Over the past few years, significant progress has been made in the understanding of the hearing mechanism. The identification of genes involved in deafness has begun and is now progressing rapidly. To date, at least 36 genes are known and exploration of their functions has already begun. Indeed, cloning deafness genes is only the first step towards the understanding of the hearing process.
