Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Genetic variation in superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) is implicated in several ageing pathologies and with noise-induced hearing loss. Here, we have investigated the role of SOD2 promoter variants in age related hearing loss (ARHL). METHODS: Putative regulatory variants identified in the SOD2 promoter using bioinformatics were functionally evaluated in an inner-ear-derived cell line (OC-2). Variants with...
