open-in-new
<p>Gap junction beta-6 protein (GJB6), also known as connexin 30 (Cx30) — is a <a href="/facts/Protein/Jxmagu3E">protein</a> that in humans is encoded by the <i>GJB6</i> <a href="/facts/Gene/e1swwPY6">gene</a>. Connexin 30 (Cx30) is one of several gap junction proteins expressed in the inner ear. Mutations in gap junction genes have been found to lead to both syndromic and <a href="/facts/Nonsyndromic_deafness/5aV8bP0B">nonsyndromic deafness</a>. Mutations in this gene are associated with <a href="/facts/Clouston_syndrome/8VkDFsUP">Clouston syndrome</a> (i.e., hydrotic ectodermal dysplasia). </p>
