  1. a the total number of unrelated Altaian chromosomes (n = 60) is the sum of twenty-six independent Altaian patients (52 chromosomes) and eight independent patients of mixed (Altaian/other) ethnicity (8 chromosomes); b the total number of unrelated Russian chromosomes (n = 32) is estimated from thirteen independent Russian patients (26 chromosomes) plus six chromosomes corresponding to six independent patients of mixed (Russian/other) ethnicity; * 58 chromosomes were tested for the GJB2 non-coding exon; ** 16 chromosomes were tested for the GJB2 non-coding exon.
