Mutations in a gene called CPD have been found to play a key role in a rare inherited form of hearing loss, according to an international research collaboration.
From Science Daily
The study reveals that the CPD gene, which is typically known for modifying proteins, also affects the inner ear.
From Science Daily
Although the study focused on individuals with a rare combination of mutations to the CPD gene, there could be broader implications if single mutations are linked to age-related hearing loss, she added.
From Science Daily
When the scientists expanded their search through genetic databases, they discovered that individuals with other CPD mutations also showed signs of early-onset hearing loss, strengthening the link between this gene and auditory function.
From Science Daily
To understand how CPD influences hearing, the team conducted experiments using mice.
