Recessive mutations in the GJB2 gene are the most common genetic cause of hearing loss in humans. By using the Sendai-virus delivery system, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of a female patient with the p.V37I (c.109G > A) mutation, a GJB2 mutation highly prevalent in the Asian population. The resulting iPSCs had a normal karyotype. The iPSCs also showed pluripotency, as confirmed by immunofluorescence staining, and differentiated into the three germ layers in vivo. This cellular model will provide a useful platform for investigating the pathogenic mechanisms of deafness related to GJB2 mutations.

Overview of the genetics of hereditary hearing impairment for researchers and clinicians. The site lists data and references for all known gene localizations and identifications for nonsyndromic hearing impairment, and several for syndromic hearing loss. For syndromic hearing impairment, only a few of the most frequent forms are covered. An atlas of cochlea with genes listed can be accessed from this site.
