Improved TMC1 gene therapy restores hearing and balance in mice with genetic inner ear disorders
Mutations in the mechanotransduction channel component TMC1/2 cause deafness. Here, the authors use a synthetic AAV to replace TMC1 and 2 in the inner ear and show restoration of cochlear and vestibular function, of neuronal reponses in the auditory cortex and of hearing and balance in mice.
