Abstract excerpt

IMPACT STATEMENT: Although connexins are known to be the major genetic factors associated with HI, only a few studies have investigated GJB4 and GJC3 variants among hearing-impaired patients. This study is the first to report GJB4 and GJC3 variants from an African HI cohort. We have demonstrated that GJB4 and GJC3 genes may not contribute significantly to HI in Ghana, hence these genes should not be considered...
