Abstract excerpt
Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is the progressive, bilateral loss of high-frequency hearing in elderly people. Mutations in GJB2, encoding the cochlear gap junction protein connexin26 (Cx26), are the most frequent cause of hereditary deafness; however, a common molecular pathology between ARHL and GJB2-related hearing loss has not been reported. Here, we investigated the quantitative change in expression and...
