  • Title: Paradigms and paradoxes: mouse (and human) models of genetic deafness.
    Author: Hughes DC.
    Journal: Audiol Neurootol; 1997; 2(1-2):3-11. PubMed ID: 9390817.
    Abstract:
    Mouse models have proved valuable tools in the analysis of human genetic disorders. The identification of the genes mutated in classical mouse mutants and the analysis of the phenotype of mutants following targeted gene disruption have provided some clarification of the development and functioning of the inner ear. A number of these genes also play a role in human deafness. Analysis of mutations in both human and mouse deafness genes has identified a number of distinct phenomena that contribute to the observed phenotype.
