| Identified Mutation |
1-BP DEL, 35G; A mutation consisting of deletion of 1 guanine (G) in a run of 6 guanines extending from position 30 to position 35 in the GJB2 gene has been observed by several groups. Some referred to the deleted nucleotide as 30G (the first of the 6 Gs), whereas others referred to it as 35G. The second mutation found by Carrasquillo et al. [Hum. Molec. Genet. 6: 2163-2172 (1997)] to be responsible for nonsyndromic recessive deafness (220290) in a Muslim-Israeli village in the lower Galilee was a deletion of a guanine residue at cDNA position 35 (35delG), causing a frameshift of the coding sequence leading to premature chain termination at the twelfth amino acid. |
| Remarks |
Unaffected carrier; sister and brother-in-law are also carriers with two deaf children; donor subject is heterozygous for a 1 bp deletion at nucleotide 35 of the GJB2 (Connexin 26) gene (35delG). |
