Figure 2 DNA sequence analysis of GJB2. The heterozygous 424T>C transition is indicated by the arrow. The nucleotide sequence is provided, just above the electropherograph. The amino acid sequence, indicating the heterozygous amino acid substitution (F/L), is shown above the nucleotide sequence. Position F142 is noted.
