Abstract excerpt

The expression and localization of COL2A1 mRNA and protein was examined in human fetal cochlea to study the role of this gene in hearing and to begin to understand the pathogenesis of mutations in COL2A1 in hearing disorders. Northern blot analysis revealed COL2A1 expression in fetal membranous c...
