Adeno-associated viral vector administration to the inner ear and phenotype evaluation in a mouse model of hearing loss.

Abstract excerpt

Hearing loss is the most common sensory impairment in the population, with more than 400 million affected worldwide. Over half the cases of congenital hearing loss have a genetic cause, ∼80 % of which are autosomal recessive with a prevalence of about 1-2 every 1000 births.
