Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: We conducted a pilot screening program to define the prevalence of non-syndromic deafness and establish the frequency of mutations in the GJB2 gene (Cx26) in a population of children with congenital deafness in Bogotá, Colombia. METHOD: From a cohort of 731 children in 8 institutions for the deaf, we identified 322 (44%) with presumed non-syndromic deafness. These were invited to a more detailed...
