Abstract excerpt
Nonsyndromic hearing loss (NSHL) is of great clinical importance, and mutations in the GJB2 gene and the encoded human CONNEXIN 26 (CX26) protein play important roles in the genetic pathogenesis. The CX26 p.R184Q mutation was shown to be a dominant-negative effect in our previous study. Previously, we also demonstrated that zebrafish Cx30.3 is orthologous to human CX26. In the present study, we established...
