  • GJB6 (Connexin 30)
Using genomic DNA obtained from buccal (cheek) swabs, evidence of the most common mutations in the GJB6 gene (coding for connexin-30), G11R and A88V, are analyzed by restriction enzyme digestion. If neither of these mutations is present, the entire single coding exon of the GJB6 gene is screened by bi-directional sequence analysis. Once a mutation has been identified and pre-natal diagnosis is available.
