Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Congenital deafness occurs in approximately 1 in 1,000 live births, and 50% of these cases are hereditary. Connexin mutations have been identified as the most common cause of hereditary hearing loss in many populations. The prevalence of this mutation in African patients has not been adequately studied. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of connexin 26 and 30...
