摘要

Congenital sensorineural hearing loss is the most common sensory disorder, with approximately 1 in every 1000 newborns in developed countries suffering from severe-to-profound hearing loss. At least half of those cases are attributable to genetic causes with more than 90 causative genes identified to date reflecting the complex clinical and genetic landscapes of hereditary hearing loss [1,2]. Recent advances in molecular genetics technologies, notably next-generation sequencing (NGS), have drastically accelerated the identification of novel genes involved in hearing mechanism and expanded the mutational spectrum of known deafness-causing genes [3-9]. In addition to NGS, recent progress in genome editing, embryonic stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells has opened a new gate to a fast and thorough characterization and understanding of the precise functions and mechanisms involved in the biology of hearing and deafness. This special issue is to exhibit the advances and recent progress in the fields of molecular genetics and molecular biology of hearing and deafness. The review paper by S. Kitajiri and T. Katsuno (Kyoto University) summarized the importance of the tricellular tight junction proteins (tricellulin, occludin, ILDR1, and the angulin family) in the inner ear by acting as a barrier separating the endolymphatic and perilymphatic spaces, which is essential for the generation and maintenance of the endocochlear potential.

Kitajiri和T. Katsuno(京都大学)的审查文件总结了三胞胎紧密结蛋白(三胰岛素,occludin,Iildr1和Aganulin家族)通过作为分离内淋巴和漂亮的屏障来总结了内耳的重要性空间,这对于EndoChlear潜力的产生和维护至关重要。
