1. Electrophoregram profiles showing the 35delG mutation of CX26 (GJB2) in an individual with recessively inherited hearing loss, and in his heterozygous parents. Mutations of the gene encoding connexin 26 account for about half of the cases of prelingual isolated deafness in Caucasian populations. The 35delG mutation is by far the most frequent of the CX26 mutations in Mediterranean European countries.
