Frequencies of Mutations in the Connexin 26 Gene (GJB2) in Two Populations of Iran (Tehran and Tabriz) [PDF]
While hearing loss has been considered to be a very heterogeneous disorder, mutations in Gap junction beta 2 (GJB2) gene encoding Connexin 26 (Cx26) protein are the major cause of autosomal recessive and sporadic non-syndromic deafness in many ...

First-trimester prenatal screening for the common 35delG GJB2 mutation causing prelingual deafness
Objective This study evaluates the prevalence of 35delG GJB2 mutation, the most common genetic mutation causing prelingual deafness, and its screening feasibility and acceptability in pregnant women undergoing first-trimester CVS for chromosomal ...

Mutations in the GJB2 gene are a major cause of congenital deafness. One specific mutation, the 35delG mutation, has accounted for most of the GJB2 mutations detected in European populations and is one of the most frequent disease mutations identified so

Hypothesizing an Ancient Greek Origin of the GJB2 35delG Mutation: Can Science Meet History?
One specific mutation of the GJB2 gene that encodes the connexin 26 protein, the 35delG mutation, has become a major interest among scientists who focus on the genetics of nonsyndromic hearing loss.

Evidence for single origins of 35delG and delE120 mutations in the GJB2 gene in Anatolia
Eighteen different sequence changes, including three novel alterations, were detected in GJB2, encoding connexin 26, in 371 Turkish probands with non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss.

GJB2 Mutations Screening in Autosomal Recessive Non-Syndrome Deaf Patients of Khouzestan Province
Objective: Hereditary Hearing loss (HHL) affects one in 1000-2000 newborns and more than 50% of these cases, the loss has a genetic basis. About 70% of HHL is non-syndromic with autosomal recessive forms accounting for ~85% of the genetic load.

The contribution of GJB2 (Connexin 26) 35delG to age-related hearing impairment and noise-induced hearing loss. [PDF]
Contains fulltext : 52415.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access)HYPOTHESIS: The common GJB2 (Connexin 26) 35delG mutation might contribute to the development of age-related hearing impairment (ARHI) and noise-induced hearing loss ...

The recessive c.35delG mutation in the GJB2 gene is one of the most common mutations associated with non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss (NSHL). This nonsense mutation knocks out the function of the connexin 26 protein in the inner ear, which is ...
