	3. 675 Accesses	Research article Genome-wide linkage analyses identify Hfhl1 and Hfhl3 with frequency-specific effects on the hearing spectrum of NIH Swiss mice James M Keller, Konrad Noben-Trauth BMC Genetics 2012, 13:32 (27 April 2012) Abstract \| Provisional PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary The identification of two quantitative trait loci (QTL) with frequency-specific effects on the hearing spectrum of NIH Swiss mice supports the hypothesis that frequency-specific hearing loss is the result of regionally specific gene activity in the cochlea.
