| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Several inbred strains of mice develop hearing loss (HL) caused by genomic polymorphisms accompanying their genetic backgrounds. To identify the genomic polymorphisms associated with the development of HL, we challenged technological innovations of the forward genetics approach adapted using consomic/congenic mapping, allele-specific gene expression analysis, and genome editing. In particular, this approach was powerful for the identification of genes that are responsible and can rescue HL in C57BL/6J (B6) mice. We discovered that substitutions in a genomic region of chromosome 10 (Chr10) and 12 (Chr12) of MSM/Ms (MSM) mice reduced the symptoms of HL in B6 mice. Moreover, the HL in B6 mice were completely rescued by genome editing of a polymorphism in the gene encoding Cadherin 23 on Chr10 and a genomic substitution of MSM-derived Chr12. In addition, we identified candidate genes on Chr12 associated with HL by congenic mapping and allele-specific gene expression analysis.
