Abstract excerpt
Previous studies of the gap-junction beta-2 subunit gene GJB2 (connexin 26) have suggested that the 101T-->C (M34T) nucleotide substitution may be a mutant allele responsible for recessive deafness DFNB1. This hypothesis was consistent with observations of negligible intercellular coupling and gap-junction assembly of the M34T allele product expressed in Xenopus oocytes and HeLa cells. The results of our current...
