Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: A missense mutation, R130S, was recently found in the prestin gene, SLC26A5, of patients with moderate to severe hearing loss (DFNB61). In order to define the pathology of hearing loss associated with this missense mutation, a recombinant prestin construct harboring the R130S mutation (R130S-prestin) was generated, and its functional consequences examined in a heterologous expression system. We found...
