Abstract excerpt
Hearing loss is the most common sensory disorder, with a substantial proportion caused by genetic mutations. KCNQ4, a voltage-gated potassium channel highly expressed in cochlear outer hair cells, is a common genetic etiology implicated in autosomal dominant progressive hearing loss (DFNA2). The dominant-negative KCNQ4 p.W276S (c.827G>C) mutation represents a mutational hotspot in DFNA2, yet no effective...
