To further characterize the molecular etiology of heating loss in the Chinese population, we recruited a total of 135 unrelated patients with nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss （NSHL） for mutational screening of GJB2, GJB3, GJB6, SLC26A4, SLC26A5 IVS2-2A〉G and mitochondrial 12SrRNA, tRNASer（t/CN） by PCR amplification and direct DNA sequencing. The carrier frequencies of deafness-causing mutations in these patients were 35.55% in GJB2, 3.70% in GJB6, 15.56% in SLC26A4 and 8.14% in mitochondrial 12SrRNA, respectively. The results indicate the necessity of genetic screening for mutations of these causative genes in Chinese population with nonsyndromic heating loss.展开更多
