Virally mediated Kcnq1 gene replacement therapy in the immature scala media restores hearing in a mouse model of human Jervell and Lange‐Nielsen deafness syndrome

Abstract Mutations in the potassium channel subunit KCNQ1 cause the human severe congenital deafness Jervell and Lange‐Nielsen (JLN) syndrome. We applied a gene therapy approach in a mouse model of JLN syndrome (Kcnq1−/− mice) to prevent the development of deafness in the adult stage. A modified ade...
