In addition, we compared parameters in patients with profound HL caused by a GJB2 mutation homozygous genotype c.[35delG];[(35delG)] and in those with a heterozygous genotype [GJB2:c.35delG];[GJB6:del(GJB6-D13S1830)] versus all other patients with other types of HL. Here, GJB6 is linked to Hodgkins lymphoma.
