The gap junction β2 (GJB2) gene is associated with more than half of the recessive forms of hereditary hearing loss (HHL). However, the correlation between p.V27I and p.E114G variants of GJB2 and hearing phenotype remains controversial. This study aimed to clarify possible roles of these variants in Chinese infants with nonsyndromic hearing loss (NSHL). Hearing and gene tests were conducted in 300 infants (aged...
