Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Inflammation of the middle ear (otitis media) is very common and can lead to serious complications if not resolved. Genetic studies suggest an inherited component, but few of the genes that contribute to this condition are known. Mouse mutants have contributed significantly to the identification of genes predisposing to otitis media RESULTS: The dearisch mouse mutant is an ENU-induced mutant detected...
