Investigação genética da surdez hereditária: mutação do gene da Conexina 26

Abstract: Nos últimos anos houve grande progresso na localização de genes associados à deficiência auditiva hereditária, possibilitando diagnósticos cada vez mais precisos e precoces. Mutações no gene da Conexina 26 (GJB2 - Cx26) causam deficiência auditiva. Pela facilidade e benefício do rastreamento de mutações no gene GJB2, o teste genético está se tornando um importante recurso na saúde pública. O objetivo foi realizar pesquisa bibliográfica sobre a mutação do gene da Conexina 26 e sua influência na audição. Foi rea… Show more

“…It is estimated that over 100 genes are potentially involved in non-syndromic deafness (28) . Mutations in the GJB2 gene have been potentially linked to many cases of hearing loss (8,29) . This gene is involved in both recessive and dominant forms of nonsyndromic hearing loss and the most frequent mutation found in this gene is the 35delG (28) .…”
