ABSTRACT:
The invention provides methods of detecting hearing loss or a predisposition to hearing loss in an animal, which comprises detecting at least one mutation in a gene encoding transduction-1 (TDC1) in a test sample obtained from the animal. The invention also provides a method of determining the level of nucleic acid comprising a wild-type TDC1 gene and/or a mutant TDC1 gene in a test sample obtained from an animal.
