Abstract excerpt
SLC26A4 encodes pendrin, a crucial anion exchanger essential for maintaining hearing function. Mutations in SLC26A4, including the prevalent c.919-2 A > G splice-site mutation among East Asian individuals, can disrupt inner ear electrolyte balance, leading to syndromic and non-syndromic hearing loss, such as Pendred syndrome and DFNB4. To explore potential therapeutic strategies, we utilized CRISPR/Cas9-mediated...
