摘要
Conclusion: The most common mutation in the Swedish population was Connexin 26 (C x 26) 35delG, which indicates that the percentage of Swedish persons with C x 26 mutations and polymorphisms in the GJB2 gene among non-syndromic hearing-impaired (HI) persons is comparable to the rest of Europe. The results strongly support a Swedish policy to offer all children with diagnosed hearing impairment genetic tests for the C x 26 35delG mutation. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to search for mutations in the GBJ2 gene among Swedish persons with non-syndromic hearing impairment to further clarify how common these mutations are in Sweden, one of the northernmost countries in Europe. Methods: Seventy-nine patients with non-syndromic hearing impairment participated in the study. For 87% of the participants, a pure tone audiogram showed a severe or profound hearing impairment. Dried blood spots on filter paper, taken at 3-5 days of age in the Swedish nationwide neonatal screening programme for congenital disorders and saved in a biobank, were used for the molecular genetic analyses. Results: The total number of subjects with one or two pathologic mutations or a mutation of unknown consequence found in the GJB2 gene was 28 of 79 (35%). Nineteen (19) persons (24%) were homozygotes for the 35delG mutation.
