Abstract excerpt
The mouse mutant 'pirouette' (pi) exhibits profound hearing loss and vestibular defects due to inheritance of a recessive mutation on chromosome 5. Dysfunction has been correlated with defects during maturation of sensory cells in the inner ear. As an initial step in characterizing pirouette at the genetic level, we have localized the candidate interval to a small region on central chromosome 5 by analysis of a...
