Mutations in GJB2 are a major cause of autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) in many populations. A single mutation of this gene (35delG) accounts for approximately 70% of GJB2 mutations that are associated with ARNSHL in Caucasians in many European countries and also in Iranian. In this study, we used PCR and restriction digestion to genotype five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that...
