Abstract excerpt
Cisplatin is a chemotherapy drug that causes permanent hearing loss by damaging a critical tissue lining the inner ear, called the stria vascularis (SV). Currently, the molecular mechanisms of SV damage are largely unknown and the incidence of ototoxicity in patients cannot be reliably predicted. Growing evidence suggests certain genetic variants expressed in the SV are significant risk factors for ototoxicity,...
