New mouse model of hereditary deafness resulting from common GJB2 mutation
Feb. 12, 2024
The most common genetic cause of hereditary deafness in humans are mutations in the GJB2 gene, especially the 35delG and 235delC mutations. At the recent ARO meeting, researchers from Ear Nose and Throat Hospital of Fudan University presented the creation of a novel mouse model for studying the pathogenic mechanisms of hereditary deafness resulting from these mutations.
