Mitochondrial defects and hearing loss.

Abstract excerpt

The techniques of human molecular genetics have been rapidly applied to the study of hearing loss. These studies have implicated more than 60 loci as causes of nonsyndromic hearing loss. Mutations at more than a dozen nuclear genes have been demonstrated to cause hearing loss, and these have been covered in recent reviews. However, a perhaps unexpected feature of the molecular characterization of human hearing...
