Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the Connexin-26 gene (Cx 26, GJB2) are the most common cause of hereditary nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). DNA analysis of the Cx 26 gene in deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals frequently demonstrates heterozygosity despite the fact that most mutations are known to be recessive. A 342-kb deletion in a gene adjacent to Cx 26, the Connexin-30 gene (Cx 30, GJB6), has been reported to...
