To date, studies in all populations showed that mutations in the gene of Gap junction protein beta 2 (GJB2) play an important role in non-syndromic autosomal recessive congenital hearing loss. The aim of this study was to evaluate GJB2 gene of patients with hearing loss in our region using deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing method and to demonstrate region-specific mutation and polymorphism distribution.
