Hearing function in heterozygous carriers of a pathogenic GJB2 gene mutation.
The most frequent hereditary hearing loss is caused by mutations in the GJB2 gene coding for the gap junction beta 2 protein Connexin 26 (Cx26). In contrast to many studies performed in patients with bi-allelic mutations, audiometric studies on heterozygotes are sparse and often contradictory. To evaluate hearing function in heterozygous carriers of the GJB2 c.35delG mutation, audiometry over t...
متن کاملA novel compound heterozygous mutation in the GJB2 gene causing non-syndromic hearing loss in a family
Mutations in the GJB2 gene are responsible for up to 50% of cases of non-syndromic recessive hearing loss, with c.35delG, c.167delT and c.235delC being the predominant mutations in many world populations. However, a large number of rare mutations in this gene may also contribute to hearing loss. The aim of the present study was to conduct a clinical and molecular characterization of a Chinese f...
متن کاملRelative Frequency of 35delG Mutation in GJB2 Gene in Autosomal Recessive Non-Syndromic Hearing Loss (ARNSHL) Patients in Kerman Population
Congenital hearing loss with many genetic and environmental causes affects 1 in 1000 newborns. Mutations in the GJB2(Gap Junction Beta-2) gene encoding the gap junction protein connexin 26 have been established as the main cause of autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss. The aim of this study was to study the frequency of one mutation (35delG) of GJB2 gene in Kerman non-syndromic deaf p...
متن کاملOn symptomatic heterozygous alpha-sarcoglycan gene mutation carriers.
Mutations in the human alpha-sarcoglycan gene on chromosome 17q21.2 have been shown to cause a severe childhood autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy, a less severe limb girdle muscular dystrophy, exercise intolerance, or asymptomatic hyperCKemia. Here, we describe the clinical findings in a German family harboring a 371 T > C (Ile124Thr) missense mutation in the alpha-sarcoglycan gene. Wherea...
متن کاملA novel C202F mutation in the connexin26 gene (GJB2) associated with autosomal dominant isolated hearing loss.
Mutations in the GJB2 gene encoding connexin26 (CX26) account for up to 50% of cases of autosomal recessive hearing loss. In contrast, only one GJB2 mutation has been reported to date in an autosomal dominant form of isolated prelingual hearing loss. We report here a novel heterozygous 605G-->T mutation in GJB2 in all affected members of a large family with late childhood onset of autosomal dom...
