Abstract excerpt
The hallmark of age-related (presbycusis) and noise-induced hearing loss is high-frequency (> 20 kHz) hearing loss. Through a collaborative study with TMGC (Tennessee Mouse Genome Consortium), seventeen ENU-induced mouse mutation strains with high-frequency hearing loss have been identified, but affected genes are yet identified. As a first step in identifying the gene/s underlying the ENU mutations, we created a...
