Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Recent studies have reported genetic associations between with single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the several genes of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) system in otosclerosis without the confirmation of RAA system expression in human stapes footplates. There are conflicting results. These results are conflicting because RAA system expression has been attributed exclusively to neural,...
