abstract：:COCH is the most abundantly expressed gene in the cochlea. Unsurprisingly, mutations in COCH underly hearing loss in mice and humans. Two forms of hearing loss are linked to mutations in COCH, the well-established autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss, with or without vestibular dysfunction (DFNA9) via a gain-o...
