Recently, mutations in two gap junction genes, GJB2 and GJB3 (encoding Connexin 26 and Connexin 31, respectively), have been shown to underlie either inherited hearing loss and skin disease or both disorders. In this study, we have extended our analysis of a small family in which palmoplantar keratoderma and various forms of deafness is segregating. In addition to the previously described sequence variant M34T in...
