Abstract excerpt
COCH (coagulation factor C homology) encodes cochlin, and certain mutations of COCH cause autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 9 (DFNA9). Hearing loss due to COCH mutation begins in adulthood, and 17 missense mutations and two in-frame mutations have been reported. Studies with animal and cellular models have suggested that the underlying biological mechanism of DFNA9 is the dominant-negative effect of...
