Project

Identification and characterisation of genes responsible for age-related hearing impairment.

The general aim of this project is to acquire better insights into the development of ARHI, a complex type of hearing loss. To achieve this we will firstly perform additional investigations on two recently identified ARHI susceptibility genes, GRHL2 and GRM7, using genetic and functional studies.
