    Corrected and republished in:

    Recently, mutations in two gap junction genes, GJB2 and GJB3 (encoding Connexin 26 and Connexin 31, respectively), have been shown to underlie either inherited hearing loss and skin disease or both disorders. In this study, we have extended our analysis of a small family in which palmoplantar keratoderma and various forms of deafness is segregating. In addition to the previously described sequence variant M34T in GJB2, two other sequence variants were identified: D66H also in GJB2 and R32W in GJB3. As D66H segregated with the skin disease, it is likely to underlie the palmoplantar keratoderma. The other two gap junction variants identified may contribute to the type of hearing impairment and the variable severity of the skin disease in the family.

    • Related Articles

      Calculated set of PubMed citations closely related to the selected article(s) retrieved using a word weight algorithm. Related articles are displayed in ranked order from most to least relevant, with the “linked from” citation displayed first.

    • Compound (MeSH Keyword)

      PubChem chemical compound records that are classified under the same Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) controlled vocabulary as the current articles.

    • Gene

      Gene records that cite the current articles. Citations in Gene are added manually by NCBI or imported from outside public resources.

    • Gene (OMIM)

      Gene records associated with Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) records that cite the current articles in their reference lists.

    • HomoloGene

      HomoloGene clusters of homologous genes and sequences that cite the current articles. These are references on the Gene and sequence records in the HomoloGene entry.

    • Nucleotide (RefSeq)

      NCBI nucleotide Reference Sequences (RefSeqs) that are cited in the current articles, included in the corresponding Gene Reference into Function, or that include the PubMed articles as references.

    • Nucleotide (Weighted)

      Nucleotide records associated with the current articles through the Gene database. These are the related sequences on the Gene record that are added manually by NCBI.

    • OMIM (calculated)

      Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) records that include the current articles as references in the light bulb links within or in the citations at the end of the OMIM record. The references available through the light bulb link are collected using the PubMed related articles algorithm to identify records with similar terminology to the OMIM record.
