Abstract
Search for mutations in the connexin 26 gene (GJB2) is a routine molecular-genetic analysis ofthe hereditary deafness worldwide. However, till now there is no assessment of the diagnostic significance of this analysis for Russian patients, and there are difficulties in interpretation of the results of DNA diagnostics. In the present study, a sample of 705 patients with nonsyndromic autosomal recessive deafness from different regions of Russian Federation was investigated. A portion of deafness like DFNB1 caused by mutations in the GJB2 gene among the sample was 46%. The frequency of deafness of such genetic type was 1:1000, that is, the frequency of isolated autosomal recessive deafness was 1:500 in the population. It was found that each sixteenth individual in Russia is a heterozygous carrier of the mutation in the GJB2gene. Totally, 20 pathological GJB2 alleles were detected; among them, a c.35delG mutation with the allelic frequency 81% prevails. Six most frequent mutations (c.35delG, c.313_326de114, c.-23+1G>A (IVS1+1G>A), c.235delC, c.167delT, and p.Glul20del), which account for 95% of pathological GJB2 alleles, were detected. Mutations previously not described in the GJB2 gene (c.129delG, p.Gly200Arg, and c[Arg127His, Gly...Continue Reading
