Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the GJC3 gene are known to cause nonsyndromic hearing impairment (NSHI). In this study, we screened for mutations in the connexin 29 (Cx29) gene in peripheral blood collected from patients with NSHI. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood cells of 123 NSHI patients and 127 normal-hearing control subjects. Coding regions of Cx29 were amplified by polymerase chain reaction using primer pairs flanking...
