Abstract excerpt
Mutations in gap junction proteins encoding beta connexions are believed to be a major cause for congenital hearing loss. The purpose of this study was to do comparative analyses of frequencies of most prominent mutations responsible for congenital deafness. Using fluorescence PCR method, the entire coding region of GJB2 gene, GJB3 gene, and SLC26A4 was analyzed. Direct DNA sequencing was used to analyze...
