Figure 2. Mcph1-deficient mice have mild to moderate hearing impairment characterized with conductive hearing impairment.

Figure 2

(A) ABR measurement results of 14 week old Mcph1tm1a/tm1a mice (n = 11) in MGP showed mild to moderate hearing impairment, or normal hearing compared to control mice. The green baseline area shows a reference range for the control wild type mice with the same genetic background, plotting the median and 2.5 to 97.5 percentile of the population (n = 440). (B) Input-output function (IOF) analysis. The peak-peak amplitude of wave 1 (P1-N1 amplitude) of click-evoked ABRs is plotted as a function of dB SL (Sensation Level, dB above threshold) for wild type (green) and Mcph1tm1a/tm1a (red) mice. There was no significant difference of IOF slopes of Mcph1tm1a/tm1a (n = 24, slope  = 0.144+/−0.066; mean +/− SD) and wild type mice (n = 36, slope  = 0.133+/−0.048) (t-test, p = 0.444).
