THOC1 deficiency leads to late-onset nonsyndromic hearing loss through p53-mediated hair cell apoptosis.

Apoptosis of cochlear hair cells is a key step towards age-related hearing loss. Although numerous genes have been implicated in the genetic causes of late-onset, progressive hearing loss, few show direct links to the proapoptotic process. By genome-wide linkage analysis and whole exome sequencing,...
