Investigation of the GJB6 Deletion Mutations Del (GJB6-D13s1830) and Del (GJB6-D13s1854) in Iranian Patients with Autosomal-Recessive Non-Syndromic Hearing Loss (ARNSHL)

Abstract

Hearing loss (HL) is the most common inherited sensory disorder

GJB2 mutations in Iranian Azeri population with autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL): First report of c.238 C>A mutation in Iran

“…These findings demonstrated that GJB6 deletions were restricted to certain areas and populations, showing a funder effect regarding these mutations as well. [4][5][6][7][8][9] Different studies performed during the last decade indicate an ethnic bias in GJB2 mutation. For example, c.35delG; p.…”
