Variation in genes related to cochlear biology is strongly associated with adult-onset deafness in border collies.

Variation in genes related to cochlear biology is strongly associated with adult-onset deafness in border collies.

Domestic dogs can suffer from hearing losses that can have profound impacts on working ability and quality of life. We have identified a type of adult-onset hearing loss in Border Collies that appears to have a genetic cause, with an earlier age of onset (3-5 years) than typically expected for aging...
