Purpose: Pathogenic variants of the gap junction beta 2 (GJB2) gene are responsible for about 50% of hereditary non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss (NSHL). In this study, we report mutation frequency and phenotype comparison of different GJB2 gene alterations in Hungarian NSHL patients.

Methods: The total coding region of the GJB2 gene was analyzed with Sanger or NGS sequencing for 239 patients with NSHL and 160 controls.
