Mutations in the gene GJB2, encoding the gap-junction protein connexin-26, have been shown to be a major cause of nonsyndromic recessive deafness (NSRD). A single mutation in the GJB2 gene accounts for the majority of NSRD in many different populations. This mutation represents a deletion of a guani
## Abstract The __GJB2__ gene located on chromosome 13q12 and encoding the connexin 26 (Cx26) protein, a transmembrane protein involved in cellโcell attachment of almost all tissues, including the skin, causes autosomal recessive and sometimes dominant nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss. __GJB
