Abstract excerpt
Progressive sensorineural hearing loss in humans is a common and debilitating impairment. Sensorineural deafness in inbred strains of mice is a similarly common and genetically diverse phenotype providing experimental models to study the underlying genetics and the biological effects of the risk factors. Here, we report that ALR/LtJ mice develop early-onset profound sensorineural hearing loss as evidenced by...
