Abstract excerpt
Knockout of GAS2 (growth arrest-specific protein 2), causes disorganization and destabilization of microtubule bundles in supporting cells of the cochlear duct, leading to hearing loss in vivo. However, the molecular mechanism through which GAS2 variant results in hearing loss remains unknown. By Whole-exome sequencing, we identified a novel heterozygous splicing variant in GAS2 (c.616-2 A > G) as the only...
