Mutations in L-type amino acid transporter-2 support SLC7A8 as a novel gene involved in age-related hearing loss

Mutations in L-type amino acid transporter-2 support SLC7A8 as a novel gene involved in age-related hearing loss

<p dir="ltr">Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is the most common sensory deficit in the elderly. The disease has a multifactorial etiology with both environmental and genetic factors involved being largely unknown. SLC7A8/SLC3A2 heterodimer is a neutral amino acid exchanger. Here, we...
