Abstract excerpt
Hearing loss (HL) is the most common birth defect and the most prevalent sensorineural condition worldwide. It is associated with more than 1,000 mutations in at least 90 genes. Mutations of the gap junction beta-2 protein (GJB2) gene located in the nonsyndromic hearing loss and deafness (DFNB1) locus (chromosome 13q11-12) are the main causes of autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss worldwide, but...
