Abstract excerpt
BUS/Idr mice carrying a mutant waltzer allele (vbus) are characterized by splayed hair bundles in inner ear sensory cells, providing a mouse homolog of USH1D/DFNB12. RT-PCR-based screening for the presence of mutations in mouse Cdh23, the gene responsible for the waltzer phenotype, has identified a G>A mutation in the donor splice site of intron 67 (Cdh23:c.9633+1G>A: GenBank AF308939.1), indicating that two...
