Miguel Moreno-Pelayo and colleagues report mutations in the seed region of human miR-96 segregating with progressive hearing loss in two families. In an accompanying paper, Karen Steel and colleagues show that the mouse diminuendo mutant, which also shows progressive hearing loss, carries a similar mutation in the seed region of mouse miR-96.
