“…Though relatively rare, the GJB2 c.35delG homozygous mutation, which is the most prevalent mutation in Caucasians, could also contribute to late postnatal onset hearing loss (Pagarkar et al, 2006). There are also some GJB2 pathogenic mutations associated with post-lingual hearing impairment, such as p. T55N, p.R75Q, p.D179N, and p.C202F (Morle et al, 2000;Primignani et al, 2003;Melchionda et al, 2005;Iossa et al, 2010), which are inherited as autosomal dominant patterns .…”
