Mutations in the Connexin 26 (Cx26) gene are a common cause of hereditary hearing loss in different populations. In the present study, an Iranian patient with bilateral hearing loss underwent molecular analysis for the causative mutation. DNA studies were performed for the Cx26 gene by PCR and sequencing methods. We describe a novel compound heterozygous mutation (35delG, 363delC) in the Cx26 g...

A series of cells representing normal, non-tumorigenic cell lines, as well as differentiating neoplastic and undifferentiated neoplastic rat tracheal epithelial cell populations were evaluated for their ability to establish homologous and/or heterologous cell-cell gap junction communication in culture. Gap junction communication was evaluated by flow cytometric quantitation of the transfer of t...
