Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To examine the developmental time course of the mutant phenotype and cellular mechanisms that result in malformations of the superior semicircular canal (SSCC) in Brn4 knockout mice. Mutations in the Brn4/Pou3f4 gene result in characteristic inner ear abnormalities in mutant mouse pedigrees, and the findings in these mice are similar to those in human X-linked deafness type III. DESIGN: Mutant and...
