Abstract excerpt
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that five Cx26 mutations (R32H, S199F, 572delT, 631-632delGT, and Y155X) affect gap junction (GJ) functions by causing impaired membrane targeting and aberrant cellular localization, and one mutation (R165W) leads to a constriction of the channel pore with no dye coupling. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the pathogenetic roles of six recessive Cx26 mutations (p.R32H, p.R165W,...
