OBJECTIVE: Autosomal-recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) is a heterogeneous genetic disorder. Mutations in the gap junction protein beta 2 (GJB2) gene, encoding connexin 26, are a significant cause of ARNSHL in different ethnic groups. This study aimed to identify the frequency and type of GJB2 mutations in the Iranian Azeri population.
METHODS: Fifty unrelated families presenting ARNSHL in Ardabil Province, the northwest of Iran, were studied to determine the frequency and type of GJB2 mutations leading to ARNSHL. ARMS-PCR screened all DNA samples to detect c.35delG; p. Gly12Val mutation. In addition, normal samples for c.35delG; p. Gly12Val were analyzed by direct sequencing for other GJB2 mutations.
RESULT: Of the fifty families, 13 (26%) showed a GJB2 gene mutation, with c.35delG; p. Gly12Val mutation was the most prevalent one that occurred in eight (61.5%) out of the 13 families. Of the families, two were homozygous for c.358-360delGAC; p. Glu120del mutation, and one was homozygous for c.290dupA; p. Tyr97Ter and c.299-300delAT; p. His100Arg mutations. Also, we detected a novel mutation, c.238C>A; p. Gln80lys, in one of the families.
CONCLUSION: Our findings are comparable to previous studies, indicating c.35d3lG; p. Gly12Val mutation in the GJB2 gene is the most common cause of GJB2-related hearing loss in the Iranian Azeri population. Furthermore, our study highlights the significance of ARNSHL screening programs of live births based on local population data in Iran.
