Genetic laboratory practices related to testing of the GJB2 (Connexin-26) gene in the United States in 1999 and 2000.

Abstract excerpt

Given the rapidly growing area of molecular genetic laboratory testing, we sought to assess changing issues over a 2-year period of time pertaining to the availability of testing for GJB2 mutations associated with non-syndromic hearing loss. Laboratory assessments carried out by telephone interviews with directors or other key personnel revealed variations among laboratories in informed consent practices,...
