Harke J, Lee J, Nguyen S, Arab A, Rakowiecki S, Hugelier S, et al.
Mol Cell . 2024 Nov; 84(24):4698-4710.e6. PMID: 39579767
Developmental gene regulation requires input from enhancers spread over large genomic distances. Our understanding of long-range enhancer-promoter (E-P) communication, characterized as loops, remains incomplete without addressing the role of intervening...

Sgourdou P, Schaffler M, Choi K, McCall N, Burdge J, Williams J, et al.
Pain . 2024 Aug; 166(1):130-143. PMID: 39190341
The thalamus plays an important role in sensory and motor information processing by mediating communication between the periphery and the cerebral cortex. Alterations in thalamic development have profound consequences on...

Hui D, Mehrabi S, Quimby A, Chen T, Chen S, Park J, et al.
PLoS Genet . 2023 Jan; 19(1):e1010584. PMID: 36656851
Loss or absence of hearing is common at both extremes of human lifespan, in the forms of congenital deafness and age-related hearing loss. While these are often studied separately, there...

Govek K, Chen S, Sgourdou P, Yao Y, Woodhouse S, Chen T, et al.
Cell Rep . 2022 Dec; 41(10):111768. PMID: 36476860
The thalamus is the principal information hub of the vertebrate brain, with essential roles in sensory and motor information processing, attention, and memory. The complex array of thalamic nuclei develops...

Ahmadmehrabi S, Li B, Hui D, Park J, Ritchie M, Rader D, et al.
Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg . 2021 Jul; 166(4):746-752. PMID: 34281439
Objective: To investigate the importance of rare variants in adult-onset hearing loss. Study Design: Genomic association study. Setting: Large biobank from tertiary care center. Methods: We investigated rare variants (minor...

Ahmadmehrabi S, Li B, Epstein D, Ruckenstein M, Brant J
Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg . 2021 Jun; 166(3):537-539. PMID: 34058916
"Cookie-bite" or U-shaped audiograms-specifically, those showing midfrequency sensorineural hearing loss (HL)-are traditionally taught to be associated with genetic HL; however, their utility as a screening tool has not been reported....

Chen T, Rohacek A, Caporizzo M, Nankali A, Smits J, Oostrik J, et al.
Dev Cell . 2021 May; 56(10):1526-1540.e7. PMID: 33964205
In mammals, sound is detected by mechanosensory hair cells that are activated in response to vibrations at frequency-dependent positions along the cochlear duct. We demonstrate that inner ear supporting cells...

Ahmadmehrabi S, Li B, Park J, Devkota B, Vujkovic M, Ko Y, et al.
Hum Genet . 2021 Mar; 140(6):957-967. PMID: 33745059
While newborns and children with hearing loss are routinely offered genetic testing, adults are rarely clinically tested for a genetic etiology. One clinically actionable result from genetic testing in children...

Ahmadmehrabi S, Brant J, Epstein D, Ruckenstein M, Rader D
Laryngoscope . 2020 Apr; 131(2):401-409. PMID: 32243624
Literature and clinical practice around adult-onset hearing loss (HL) has traditionally focused on environmental risk factors, including noise exposure, ototoxic drug exposure, and cardiovascular disease. The most common diagnosis in...

Ho Y, Hu P, Peel M, Chen S, Camara P, Epstein D, et al.
Protein Cell . 2020 Mar; 11(8):565-583. PMID: 32193873
The anterior pituitary gland drives highly conserved physiologic processes in mammalian species. These hormonally controlled processes are central to somatic growth, pubertal transformation, fertility, lactation, and metabolism. Current cellular models ...
