Mutations in OSBPL2 cause hearing loss associated with primary cilia defects via sonic hedgehog signaling.

Abstract excerpt

Defective primary cilia cause a range of diseases called ciliopathies, which include hearing loss (HL). Variants in the human oxysterol-binding protein like 2 (OSBPL2/ORP2) are responsible for autosomal dominant nonsyndromic HL (DFNA67). However, the pathogenesis of OSBPL2 deficiency has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we show that the Osbpl2-KO mice exhibited progressive HL and abnormal cochlear...
