Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: About 50% of congenital non-syndromic hearing impairment is caused by genetic factors. Research on the genetics of deafness has revealed a vast number of relevant genes. Mutations in the GJB2 gene have been shown to be the most common in several populations. METHODS: Mutation analysis of the genes for connexin 26, 30 and 31 (GJB2, GJB6 and GJB3) was performed in 67 patients with profound hearing loss....
