Genotyping for Cx26 and Cx30 mutations in cases with congenital hearing loss.

Hearing loss is the most frequent sensory defect in human being. The 13q11-q12 region contains the GJB2 and GJB6 genes, which code connexin 26 (CX26) and connexin 30 (CX30) proteins, respectively. The 35delG, 167delT, and 235delC mutations in the Cx26 gene are the main cause for sporadic nonsyndromic hearing loss (NSHL) in many populations.
