Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: So far, at least 39 deafness gene loci have been mapped in human chromosome including the connexin 26 gene coding for a gap-junction protein. This gene is thought to be linked to hereditary non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss. About 80% of cases of DFNB1 hereditary deafness carry a 30 mer G mutation of connexin 26. METHOD: To investigate this relationship, we obtained DNA samples from 15 cases...
