Abstract excerpt
Mutations in GJB2, encoding the gap junction protein connexin 26, are the most common cause of inherited non-syndromic hearing loss (NSHL), with a broad spectrum of mutations leading to recessive as well as dominant forms. It has been shown that patients who are compound heterozygous for a 342-kb deletion (Delta(GJB6-D13S1830)) involving a large portion of the 5'-part of GJB6, encoding connexin 30, and a GJB2...
