GJB2 Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody

1. In triple negative breast cancer, connexin 26 (Cx26) is elevated in self-renewing cancer stem cells (CSCs) and is necessary and sufficient for their maintenance. Cx26 promotes CSC self-renewal by forming a signaling complex with the pluripotency transcription factor NANOG and focal adhesion kinase (FAK), resulting in NANOG stabilization and FAK activation. PMID:29422613
2. children with GJB2 gene mutations have phenotypic variability in terms of their results of UNHS and their degree and symmetry of hearing loss. Subjects with T/NT mutations of the GJB2 gene were more likely to pass UNHS and had milder hearing loss compared to those with T/T mutations. PMID:30146550
3. Almost half of the children with sensorineural hearing loss carried a common deafness-related mutation, and nearly one-third carried a pathogenic mutation. At least one mutated allele was detected in 48 patients and 30 patients carried pathogenic mutations. Among all the detected mutations, the most common were GJB2 c.235delC and SLC26A4 c.919-2A>G. PMID:30036422

PMID:28786104
14. the identification of a previously identified c.100C>T mutation, and a novel homozygous mutation, c.1283C>A in TMC1, in this study supports TMC1 gene as one of the second-tier hearing loss genes, after GJB2 in India. Testing for TMC1 may be considered in all GJB2-negative nonsyndromic hearing loss cases PMID:28862181

17. For the first time, a p.R75Q mutation shows intra-familial phenotypic variability. Profoundly deaf twins and their deaf maternal grandmother exhibit the p.R75Q mutation with palmoplantar keratoderma while their deaf mother shows absence of skin disorders. The twins also had a a recessive 35delG, which leads to a truncated premature protein inhibiting any action of the dominant p.R75Q mutation. PMID:27316387
18. DFNB1 locus does not appear to be a major contributor to nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss (NSSHL) in Sao Tome and Principe. However, the presence of both pathogenic and likely pathogenic mutations in GJB2 suggests that GJB2-related NSSHL might still occur in this population. PMID:27501294

21. The homozygous mutation c.35delG was identified as the cause of hearing loss in six participants (12%). The mutation c.506G>A was identified in three affected individuals (6%). The allelic frequency (14%) and low percentage of individuals that were homozygous (12%) and heterozygous (2%) for the c.35delG mutation suggest that there are other genes responsible for nonsyndromic deafness in the UAE population. PMID:29016196
22. We performed simultaneous hearing screening and genetic screening targeting four common deafness mutations (p.V37I and c.235delC of GJB2, c.919-2A>G of SLC26A4, and the mitochondrial m.1555A>G) in 5173 newborns at a tertiary hospital between 2009 and 2015,We delineated the longitudinal auditory features of the highly prevalent GJB2 p.V37I mutation on a general population basis PMID:27308839

28. WFS1 and GJB2 mutations were identified in eight of 74 cases of Low-Frequency Sensorineural Hearing Loss. Four cases had heterozygous WFS1 mutations; one had a heterozygous WFS1 mutation and a heterozygous GJB2 mutation; and three cases had biallelic GJB2 mutations.

32. Results found that the contribution of the GJB2 gene pathogenic variants to hearing impairment in the population of the Sakha Republic was the highest among all of the regions of Asia studied previously suggesting that extensive accumulation of the c.-23+1G>A pathogenic variant in the indigenous Yakut population may indicate the possible selective advantage of the c.-23+1G>A carriers living in the subarctic climate. PMID:27224056
33. These findings suggest that Cx26 mutants that promote cell death or exert transdominant effects on other connexins in keratinocytes will lead to skin diseases and hearing loss PMID:28428247
34. Cx26-Asp50Asn with the second-site mutations identified in the patient displayed no formation of gap junction channel plaques. We argue that the second-site mutations independently inhibit Cx26-Asp50Asn expression in gap junction channels, reverting the dominant negative effect of the p.Asp50Asn mutation PMID:28158657
35. Cx26 and Cx30 proteins thus seem not to be co-expressed but to form closely associated assemblies of gap junction plaques. PMID:26941236
