Abstract excerpt
Auditory neuropathy is sensorineural deafness where sound signals cannot be transmitted synchronously from the cochlea to the auditory center. Abnormal expression of vesicle glutamate transporter 3 (VGluT3) encoded by the SLC17a8 gene is associated with the pathophysiology of auditory neuropathy. Although several suspected pathogenic mutations of the SLC17a8 gene have been identified in humans, few studies have...
