Scientific Report: Study on the Mechanism of Deafness in Cx26-Deficient Mice Introduction Mutations in the Gjb2 gene are the most common cause of autosomal recessive non-syndromic hereditary deafness, accounting for about 50% of all cases. The Cx26 protein encoded by the Gjb2 gene is mainly expressed in cochlear epithelial supporting cells and is r...

hearing loss   brain atrophy   cognitive change  

Age-related hearing loss is considered a modifiable risk factor for dementia. However, the relationship between hearing, neurodegenerative changes, and cognitive changes, as well as how pathological processes such as Alzheimer’s disease and cerebrovascular disease affect these relationships, is not yet well understood. This report details a study o...
