Modifying with mitochondria
Abstract
An elegant set of mouse crosses has been used to identify a mitochondrial variant that interacts with a nuclear locus on chromosome 10, Ahl, to modify age-related hearing loss. This discovery sets the stage for the identification of factors that modify expression levels and variability of human hearing impairments.
