Abstract excerpt
The 7472insC mitochondrial DNA mutation in the tRNA(Ser(UCN)) gene is associated with sensorineural deafness combined, in some patients, with a wider neurological syndrome. In cultured cybrid cells it causes a 70% decrease in tRNA(Ser(UCN)) abundance and mild respiratory impairment, previously su...
