Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To determine the mutation spectrum of the connexin 26 gene among 324 Taiwanese patients with prelingual deafness and the carrier rate of gene mutation in another 432 unrelated control subjects. METHODS: The coding region of the connexin 26 gene was sequenced in both directions to detect mutation in all 756 samples. RESULTS: Among the 756 samples tested, 21 connexin 26 variants were detected, including 7...
