Description |
Otosclerosis (OTSC) is a common cause of adult-onset progressive hearing loss. It results from dysregulation of bone homeostasis in the otic capsule, most commonly leading to fixation of the stapes bone, impairing sound conduction through the middle ear. Several genomic loci have been mapped in families segregating autosomal dominant otosclerosis. Recently, associations with a few genes have also been identified.
