Abstract

Hearing impairment is the most common sensory impairment in humans, affecting 1:1,000 births. We have identified an ENU generated mouse mutant, Mozart, with recessively inherited, non-syndromic progressive hearing loss caused by a mutation in the synaptojanin 2 (Synj2), a central regulatory enzyme in the phosphoinositide-signaling cascade.

Fig 1. A gradual loss of inner and outer hair cells was detected in 8 and 12 week old mutant mice, starting in the basal turn of the cochlea and spreading towards the apical region, leading to a collapse of the Organ of Corti. At the same time there was a reduction in the number of spiral ganglia cells and the remaining cells showed increased vacuolation.
