Screening of the SLC17A8 gene as a causative factor for autosomal dominant non-syndromic hearing loss in Koreans

BACKGROUND: One of the causes of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is degeneration of the inner hair cells in the organ of Corti in the cochlea. The SLC17A8 (solute carrier family 17, member 8) gene encodes vesicular glutamate transporter 3 (VGLUT3), and among its isoforms (VGLUT1-3), only VGLUT3 is...
