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
4. It was shown that thiol levels increased and disulphide levels decreased in patients with autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss and GJB2 gene mutations. PMID: 30055731

7. our present results indicate an association between GJB2 polymorphisms (rs2274084) and NPC susceptibility. The TT genotype of GJB2 may be a risk factor for NPC. PMID: 29103018
8. Mutation in GJB2 gene is associated with deafness. PMID: 29634755

Compared with previous studies, we found that the c.109G>A mutation allele of GJB2 was relatively lower in the profound Chinese nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss population in comparison to the moderate-to-profound ones, and the c.1174A>T mutation allele of SLC26A4 was relatively higher. 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
15. our work strongly suggests a pathogenic role for GJB3 p.V37I in various HL phenotypes and provides a quantitative assessment of the risk associated with carriage of this variant and development of HL PMID: 28489599
16. mutations in the GJB2 gene specially c.35delG are important causes of ARNSHL in the center and west of Iran PMID: 29501291
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
19. Given that a previous paper suggested TMPRSS3 and GJB2 genes as responsible for a digenic form of hearing loss, our data support and reinforce this hypothesis. PMID: 28263784

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. Three cases with WFS1 mutations were sporadic; two of them were confirmed to be caused by a de novo mutation based on the genetic analysis of their parents. PMID: 28271504
29. results demonstrate that 19.2% patients with nonsyndromic deafness were caused by mutations in three common deafness genes (GJB2, SLC26A4 and 12S rRNA) in our northern China patient group PMID: 28583500
30. GJB2-related deafness leads to significantly better cochlear implantation outcomes when compared with acquired deafness caused by environmental etiologies. However, GJB2 mutation is not associated with a significantly better prognosis when compared with those whose deafness results from either nonsyndromic hearing loss of unknown origin or other types of genetic mutations in the absence of other neurologic deficits. PMID: 28322114
31. expression of Cx26 (also known as GJB2) in HeLa cells specifically enhances cell motility in scrape wounding and sparse culture models. PMID: 27777264
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
36. We attempted to identify the genetic epidemiology of hereditary hearing loss among the Chinese Han population using next-generation sequencing The entire length of the genes GJB2, SLC26A4, and GJB3 were sequenced from 116 individuals suffering from hearing loss. In our study, SLC26A4 and GJB2 were the most frequently affected genes among the Chinese Han population with hearing loss. PMID: 27610647
37. Deafness associated with G109V could result from decreased GJCs activity, whereas deafness associated to L10P may have a more complex mechanism that involves changes in HC permeability. PMID: 26769242
