PTCH, the human homologue of the Drosophila segment polarity gene, patched, has been identified as the gene responsible for Gorlin or nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS). We report here the characterization of four novel mutations in the human PTCH gene in germ-line DNA from Gorlin patients
Mutations in the Cx26 gene have been shown to cause autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) at the DFNB1 locus on chromosome 13q12. Using direct sequencing, we screened the Cx26 coding region of affected and nonaffected members from seven ARNSHL families either linked to the DFNB1 loc
