“…The most common GJB2 alleles found to be predominant in specific populations include; p.Gly12ValfsTer2 in Europeans, North Africans, Brazilians, and Americans; p.V37I and p.L79Cfs in Asians; p.W24X in Indians; p.L56Rfs in Americans; and the founder mutation p.R143W in Africans from Ghana, or with putative Ghanaian ancestry. The present review suggests that only GJB2 and GJB3 are recognized and validated HI genes. …”

“…Adjusting for care time given per caregiver, the paper incorporates data from time-use surveys, illustrating this intensive margin of the care burden in three countries that have very different family and economic contexts—Ghana, Mongolia, and South Korea. Time-use surveys typically do not provide time data for paid care services, so the estimates depend only on the time intensity of family care. …”
