Abstract excerpt
There are >120 forms of non-syndromic deafness associated with identified genetic loci. In particular, mutation of the gap junction beta 2 gene (GJB2), which encodes connexin (CX)26 protein, is the most frequent cause of hereditary deafness worldwide. We previously described an induction method to develop functional CX26 gap junction-forming cells from mouse-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and generated in...
