Department of Human Genetics, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond 23298 0033, USA
Lancet 356:500-1. 2000.... - Frequency and distribution of GJB2 (connexin 26) and GJB6 (connexin 30) mutations in a large North American repository of deaf probandsArti Pandya

Department of Human Genetics, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia, USA
Am J Med Genet A 143:1661-5. 2007..In this report, we describe two possible familial instances of delayed DEH. These patients raise the possibility that genetic factors may sometimes be the cause of this unusual syndrome... - Superficial siderosis: a potentially important cause of genetic as well as non-genetic deafnessKelley M Dodson
Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Medical College of Virginia Campus, Richmond, Virginia 23298 0146, USA

Department of Otolaryngology D 48, University of Miami, 1666 NW 12th Avenue, FL 33136, USA
Hum Genet 111:26-30. 2002..None carried any mutations in these exons of USH1C. Our findings show that USH1C mutations can also cause non-syndromic deafness and that some harmonin isoforms are specifically required for inner ear function... - Does universal newborn hearing screening identify all children with GJB2 (Connexin 26) deafness? Penetrance of GJB2 deafnessVirginia W Norris
Department of Biology, Gallaudet University, Washington, DC 20002, USA

Department of Otolaryngology D 48, University of Miami, 1666 NW 12th Avenue, Miami, FL 33136, USA
Hum Genet 116:292-9. 2005..The present study suggests that mutations in MYO7A and CDH23 are the two major components of causes for USH1, while PCDH15, USH1C, and SANS are less frequent causes... - Prevalence and evolutionary origins of the del(GJB6-D13S1830) mutation in the DFNB1 locus in hearing-impaired subjects: a multicenter studyIgnacio del Castillo
Unidad de Genetica Molecular, Hospital Ramon y Cajal, Madrid, Spain

Department of Otolaryngology, University of Miami, 1666 NW 12th Avenue, Miami, FL 33136, USA
Hum Genet 114:44-50. 2003..Similarly, the finding that this mutation appears on a single haplotype provides no support for the possibility that recurrent mutation is the explanation for the high frequency of the allele... - Prestin, a cochlear motor protein, is defective in non-syndromic hearing lossXue Zhong Liu
Department of Otolaryngology, University of Miami, Miami, FL 33101, USA
Hum Mol Genet 12:1155-62. 2003..Finally, the observation of this mutation only in the Caucasian probands indicated an association with a specific ethnic background. This study thereby reveals an essential function of prestin in human auditory processing... - Chudley-McCullough syndrome: expanded phenotype and review of the literatureKatherine Oelrich Welch
Department of Biology, Gallaudet University, Washington DC, USA
Am J Med Genet A 119:71-6. 2003..We, therefore, recommend an audiological assessment for all children with hydrocephalus, especially those with obstruction of the foramen of Monro... - The prevalence of connexin 26 ( GJB2) mutations in the Chinese populationXue Zhong Liu

Hum Genet 111:394-7. 2002..The 235delC mutation, rather than 35delG, is the most common mutation found in the Chinese deaf population.

Unité de Génétique des Déficits Sensoriels, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Paris Cedex 15, France
