Abstract excerpt
A rare mutation in Brn-3c (Brn3.1, POU4F3) underlies adult onset hearing loss (DFNA15) and targeted deletion of this gene in mice leads to complete deafness due to loss of sensory hair cells from the cochlea. Therefore the aim of our study was to identify and characterise common functional variation in the Brn-3c gene, which could potentially be a genetic risk for more common forms of adult onset hearing loss. We...
