  • Hearing loss is the most frequent sensory disorder involving a multitude of factors, and at least 50% of cases are due to genetic etiology. To further characterize the molecular etiology of hearing loss in the Chinese population, we recruited a total of 135 unrelated patients with nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss (NSHL) for mutational screening of GJB2, GJB3, GJB6, SLC26A4, SLC26A5 IVS2-2A>G and mitochondrial 12SrRNA, tRNASer(UCN) by PCR amplification and direct DNA sequencing. The carrier frequencies of deafness-causing mutations in these patients were 35.55% in GJB2, 3.70% in GJB6, 15.56% in SLC26A4 and 8.14% in mitochondrial 12SrRNA, re-spectively. The results indicate the necessity of genetic screening for mutations of these causative genes in Chi-nese population with nonsyndromic hearing loss.
