GJB2 and GJB6 Mutations in Non-Syndromic Childhood Hearing Impairment in Ghana
SM Adadey, N Manyisa, K Mnika, C De Kock… - Frontiers in …, 2019 - frontiersin.org
Our study aimed to investigate GJB2 (connexin 26) and GJB6 (connexin 30) mutations
associated with non-syndromic childhood hearing impairment (HI) as well as the
environmental causes of HI in Ghana. Medical reports of 1,104 students attending schools
for the deaf were analyzed. Families segregating HI, as well as isolated cases of HI of
putative genetic origin were recruited. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood followed by
Sanger sequencing of the entire coding region of GJB2. Multiplex PCR and Sanger …

Due to a production error, the phrase “GJB2 (connexin 30)” should be “GJB6 (connexin 30).”
Furthermore, the phrase “GJB2-D3S1830” should be “GJB6-D3S1830.” A correction has
been made to the Abstract:“Our study aimed to investigate GJB2 (connexin 26) and GJB6
