"Two Novel Mutations and Predominant 35delG Mutation in the Connexin 26 Gene (GJB2) in Iranian Populations"

Mutations in the GJB2 gene encoding Connexin 26 (Cx26) protein are a major cause for autosomal recessive non syndromic and sporadic deafness in many populations. In this study we have investigated the prevalence of the GJB2 gene mutations using nested PCR pre screening strategy and direct sequencing...
