Biological insights from multi-omic analysis of 31 genomic risk loci for adult hearing difficulty. by Gurmannat Kalra, Beatrice Milon, Alex M Casella, Brian R Herb, Elizabeth Humphries, Yang Song, Kevin P Rose, Ronna Hertzano, Seth A Ament

“…Risk-associated genes were most strongly enriched for expression in cochlear epithelial cells, as well as for genes related to sensory perception and known Mendelian deafness genes, supporting their relevance to auditory function. Regions of the human genome homologous to open chromatin in epithelial cells from the mouse were strongly enriched for heritable risk for hearing difficulty, even after adjusting for baseline effects of evolutionary conservation and cell-type non-specific regulatory regions. …”
