Deafness is a genetically complex disorder with many contributing genes still unknown. Here we describe the expression of Pitpnm1 in the inner ear. It is expressed in the inner hair cells of the organ of Corti from late embryonic stages until adulthood, and transiently in the outer hair cells during early postnatal stages. Despite this specific expression, Pitpnm1 null mice showed no hearing defects, possibly due to redundancy with the paralogous genes Pitpnm2 and Pitpnm3.

Database of mouse research resources at Sanger: BACs, targeting vectors, targeted ES cells, mutant mouse lines, and phenotypic data generated from the Institute''''s primary screen. The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute generates, characterizes, and uses a variety of reagents for mouse genetics research. It also aims to facilitate the distribution of these resources to the external scientific community. Here, you will find unified access to the different resources available from the Institute or its collaborators. The resources include: 129S7 and C57BL6/J bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs), MICER gene targeting vectors, knock-out first conditional-ready gene targeting vectors, embryonic stem (ES) cells with gene targeted mutations or with retroviral gene trap insertions, mutant mouse lines, and phenotypic data generated from the Institute''''s primary screen.
View all literature mentionsOverview of the genetics of hereditary hearing impairment for researchers and clinicians. The site lists data and references for all known gene localizations and identifications for nonsyndromic hearing impairment, and several for syndromic hearing loss. For syndromic hearing impairment, only a few of the most frequent forms are covered. An atlas of cochlea with genes listed can be accessed from this site.
