Advantages of a mouse model for human hearing impairment.

TL;DR: This review discusses the advantages of the mouse models of human hearing impairment and highlights the identification of the molecules required for stereocilia development in the inner ear hair cells by analysis of various mouse mutants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Compound heterozygosity of the functionally null Cdh23(v-ngt) and hypomorphic Cdh23(ahl) alleles leads to early-onset progressive hearing loss in mice.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that CDH23 plays an important role in the maintenance of tip links during the aging process, and hypothesize that the reduction of Cdh23 gene dosage in Cdh 23v-ngt/ahl mice leads to the degeneration of stereocilia, which consequently reduces tip link tension.
Journal ArticleDOI

A novel splice site mutation of myosin VI in mice leads to stereociliary fusion caused by disruption of actin networks in the apical region of inner ear hair cells.

TL;DR: Analysis of data indicated that decreased MYO6 levels in ksv/ksv mutants disrupt actin networks in the apical region of hair cells, thereby maintaining the normal structure of the cuticular plates and rootlets, and additionally provided a cellular basis for stereociliary fusion in Myo6 mutants.
