      abstract = {This book reviews the current state of knowledge on the  genetics, molecular biology and physiology of pendrin, with  a particular focus on pendrin dysfunction and the  consequences for human health. Pendrin is a membrane  transport protein expressed in the thyroid, inner ear,  kidney and airways, and was recently found in a variety of  other tissues and organs. Pendrin malfunction may cause a  genetic disease called Pendred syndrome or non-syndromic  deafness. The book provides a thorough description of the  multifaceted role of pendrin in human health and disease.  As such, it offers an invaluable tool for physiology and  pathology researchers, while also providing essential  guidance for otorhinolaryngologists and endocrinologists in  the diagnosis of Pendred syndrome and pendrin-related  deafness.},
