The severity of the hearing loss can range from mild to profound. The inheritance pattern is usually autosomal recessive, requiring two mutations, one in each copy of the gene, to cause hearing loss. The GJB6- D13S1830 deletion removes most of the GJB6 gene, which encodes the connexin 30 protein (Cx30). This deletion, when present in two copies or when combined with a single connexin 26 mutation, causes hearing loss. Although the frequency of mitochondrial hearing loss is unknown, studies suggest that mitochondrial mutations play an important role in inherited and acquired hearing impairment. </content> </item> </list> </text> </section> </component> <component> <section> <templateId root="2.16.840.1.113883.10.20.20.1.9.2"/> <title>Methodology</title> <text> <list> <item> <content> Exon 1 and the coding region of exon 2 of the connexin 26 (GJB2) gene are amplified using flanking primer sets. PCR products are sequenced using an ABI fluorescence automatic DNA sequencer. This test does not detect large deletions or mutations in non-coding regions that could affect gene expression. This assay is greater than 99.9% accurate in detecting mutations in the sequences analyzed. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis is performed to detect the presence or absence of a deletion spanning the GJB6-D13S1830 region of chromosome 13. </content> </item> </list> </text> </section> </component> <component> <section> <templateId root="2.16.840.1.113883.10.20.20.1.9.3"/> <title>References</title> <text> <list> <item> <content> Azaiez H, Chamberlin GP, Fischer SM, Welp CL, Prasad SD, Taggart RT, del Castillo, I, Van Camp G and Smith RJ.
