| Remarks |
Clinically affected; symptom onset at birth; diagnosed at age 7 months by a specialist (ENT/audiology); severe profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss; normal temporal bone MRI; sequencing revealed the subject is a double heterozygote with two mutations in GJB2 gene: c.358_360delGAG resulting in p.Glu120del and c.585G>A resulting in p.Met195Ile; subject negative for mutations in GJB6 and PAX3 genes; normal SNP array: arr(1-22,X)x2 (Human Genome Build 37, hg19, 2009); assistive devices include: hearing aids. |
