Hearing and touch have common genetic basis: Gene mutation leads to impairment of two senses
2 May 2012, 1:28 pm
New research shows that hearing and touch have a common genetic basis. In patients with Usher syndrome, a hereditary form of deafness accompanied by impaired vision, researchers have discovered a gene mutation that is also causative for the patients' impaired touch sensitivity.

Gene Mutation Leads to Impairment of Two Senses: Touch and Hearing
2 May 2012, 1:18 am
People with good hearing also have a keen sense of touch; people with impaired hearing generally have an impaired sense of touch. Data supporting this hypothesis was presented by Dr. Henning Frenzel and Prof. Gary R. Lewin (Max Delbrück Center, MDC, Berlin).

Touch And Hearing Impaired By Gene Mutation
1 May 2012, 6:14 pm
According to a study conducted by Dr. Henning Frenzel and Professor Gary R. Lewin of the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) Berlin-Buch, Germany, two of the 5 human senses - hearing and touch - have a common genetic basis. In individuals with Usher syndrome, the researchers identified a gene variation that is also responsible for the patients' impaired touch sensitivity. Usher ...

Where touch meets hearing
1 May 2012, 4:25 pm
Vision and hearing are so crucial to our daily lives that any impairments usually become obvious to an affected person. Although a number of known genetic mutations can lead to hereditary defects in these senses, little is known about our sense of touch, where defects might be so subtle that they go unnoticed.

Gene mutation leads to impairment of 2 senses: Touch and hearing
1 May 2012, 4:18 pm
People with good hearing also have a keen sense of touch; people with impaired hearing generally have an impaired sense of touch. Extensive data supporting this hypothesis was presented by Dr. Henning Frenzel and professor Gary R. Lewin of the Max delbrueck Center in Berlin-Buch, Germany. In patients with Usher syndrome and studies with twins they showed that both senses -- hearing and touch ...
