c.464A>G variation in the GJB2 gene is detected in a Han Chinese family.

We report two heterozygous carriers of c.464A>G variation in the GJB2 gene in a Chinese pedigree. The proband with hearing loss most likely inherited the c.464A>G variation from his mother who also carries heterozygous c.79G>A variation and has normal hearing. The pathological significance of c.464A>G variation remains to be determined.
