New research on gene mutation responsible for deafness shows it also causes heightened skin sensitivity
(Medical Xpress) -- Researchers have known since 1997 that mutations in the KCQN4 channel (a pathway that leads from the external environment to neurons) lead to progressive deafness and that the KCQN4 channel is only found ...
