Gene therapy via canalostomy approach preserves auditory and vestibular functions in a mouse model of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome type 2

Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome is characterised by congenital deafness and vestibular dysfunction, and is caused by mutations in KCNE1 or KCNQ1. Here, the authors show that gene therapy via canalostomy at early postnatal stage can preserve the morphology of inner ear and auditory and vestibular...

Description
Résumé:Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome is characterised by congenital deafness and vestibular dysfunction, and is caused by mutations in KCNE1 or KCNQ1. Here, the authors show that gene therapy via canalostomy at early postnatal stage can preserve the morphology of inner ear and auditory and vestibular functions in a mouse model of human JLNS2.
