Deskripsi

Mutations in the chromatin remodeler CHD7 cause CHARGE syndrome, affecting development of several organs including the inner ear. Here, the authors recapitulated pathogenesis of this disease with human inner ear organoids and found that CHD7 is indispensable for proper otic lineage specification and hair cell differentiation.
