Identifying Genes and Novel Variants Involved in Nonsyndromic Hearing Impairment, and Assessment of the Psychosocial Burden of Hearing Impairment in Cameroon by Wonkam, Tingang Edmond

“…NSHI is the most frequent clinical entity and accounts for 86.1% to 92.5% of cases of hereditary HI in the Cameroonian population. No pathogenic variant was described in GJB6 gene, and the prevalence of pathogenic variants in GJB2 ranged from 0% to 0.5%. …”

Molecular and evolutionary analysis of a gene conserved in most Orthopoxviruses by Douglass, Nicola Jennifer

“…This was tested by interruption of the E5R gene in vaccinia virus; this did not affect the ability of the virus to form plaques in cell culture, but appeared to reduce the pathogenicity of the 'virus for rabbits. The deduced amino acid sequences were analysed for conserved and variable regions within the gene, to which no specific function has yet been assigned.…”
