Hypothesizing an ancient Greek origin of the GJB2 35delG mutation: can science meet history?

abstract：:Mutations in GJB2 gene are the most common cause of nonsyndromic sensorineural recessive hearing loss. One specific mutation, c.35delG, is the most frequent in the majority of Caucasian populations and may account for up to 70% of all GJB2 mutations. However, 10-40% of the patients carry only one pathogenic mutation i...
