SLC26A4 targeted to the endolymphatic sac rescues hearing and balance in Slc26a4 mutant mice.

SLC26A4 targeted to the endolymphatic sac rescues hearing and balance in Slc26a4 mutant mice.

Mutations of SLC26A4 are a common cause of human hearing loss associated with enlargement of the vestibular aqueduct. SLC26A4 encodes pendrin, an anion exchanger expressed in a variety of epithelial cells in the cochlea, the vestibular labyrinth and the endolymphatic sac. Slc26a4 (Δ/Δ) mice are devo...
