Abstract excerpt

Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a leading cause of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in children. Whether connexin mutations are factors in the development of CMV-related hearing loss has not been explored. We examined gap junction protein beta-2 (GJB2) and gap junction protein beta-6 (GJB6) mutations in 149 children with congenital CMV infection and 380 uninfected neonates. Mutations in GJB2 and...
