Abstract excerpt
The genes Ocm (encoding oncomodulin) and Slc26a5 (encoding prestin) are expressed strongly in outer hair cells and both are involved in deafness in mice. However, it is not clear if they influence the expression of each other. In this study, we characterise the auditory phenotype resulting from two new mouse alleles, Ocmtm1e and Slc26a5tm1Cre. Each mutation leads to absence of detectable mRNA transcribed from the...
