Abstract excerpt
The TECTA gene encodes α-tectorin, the major non-collagenous glycoprotein of the tectorial membrane, and plays a critical role in intracochlear sound transmission. Unsurprisingly, mutations in TECTA underlie hearing loss in both mice and humans. Two forms of hearing loss are linked to TECTA mutations: DFNA8/12 (autosomal dominant) and DFNB21 (autosomal recessive). Using a combination of clinical examination,...
