Evaluation of the GJB2 and GJB6 Polymorphisms with Autosomal Recessive Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss in Iranian Population

Introduction: Hearing loss (HL), with more than 100 gene loci, is the most common sensorineural defects in humans. The mutations in two GJB2 and GJB6 (Gap Junction Protein Beta 2, 6) genes are responsible for nearly 50% of autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss. The aim of the present study w...
