| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Auditory function and morphology of the inner ear were investigated at the stage of 1, 3, 5 and 12 months in cdk5rap1 deficient mice.
Age-related hearing loss was progressed in cdk5rap1 deficient mice earlier than in control mice. Hair cell loss and spiral ganglion cell loss were not the same timing each other.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
加齢性難聴の原因の1つとなる事象は、tRNA修飾異常であることがわかった。このことを通して、加齢性難聴発症予防に関する薬剤開発の一助となることが予想される。
