Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p> Mutations in the <italic>GJB2</italic> gene, which encodes Connexin 26 (Cx26), are responsible for the majority of cases of non-syndromic congenital hearing loss in humans. While murine <italic>GJB2</italic> knockout models have provided mechanistic insight, anatomical and physiological differences limit their translational relevance. Pigs represent a valuable large-animal model b...
