GJB2 and deafness: From a previous study involving 184 congenitally deaf indigenous African individuals from the Limpopo province of South Africa, all negative for GJB2 mutations, the GJB6-D13S1830 deletion and four mitochondrial mutations, A1555G, A3243G, A7511C and A7445G [69], a cohort of 94 individuals representing 92 families was assessed for mutations in 180 deafness genes by capture targeted massively parallel sequencing (CTMPS) using the MiamiOtogene panel [70].
