POU4F3 is capable of activating both BDNF and NT-3 promoters in inner ear sensory epithelial cell lines. Mutant POU4F3 loses most of its transcriptional activity and most of its ability to bind to DNA. The mutation causes autosomal-dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss and eventually leads to hair cell morbidity in affected family members.
