Role of Gene Mutations Predicted from a Computational Model of the Cochlea of the Inner Ear

Published on Apr 16, 20093154 Views

The mutations in the GJB2 gene encoding for the connexin 26 (Cx26) protein are the most common source of nonsyndromic forms of deafness. Cx26 is a building block of gap junctions (GJ), establishing el
