Abstract excerpt
Recessive variants in GJB2 are the most important genetic cause of sensorineural hearing impairment (SNHI) worldwide. Phenotypes vary significantly in GJB2-related SNHI, even in patients with identical variants. For instance, patients homozygous for the GJB2 p.V37I variant, which is highly prevalent in the Asian populations, usually present with mild-to-moderate SNHI; yet severe-to-profound SNHI is occasionally...
