We investigated three families with maternally inherited deafness associated with a 1555 A-to-G substitution in the 12S ribosomal RNA gene. Probands in these families developed deafness following streptomycin treatment, whereas several family members who did not receive aminoglycoside showed onset of deafness in middle age. One proband had a non-synonymous A14062G mutation in the ND5 gene and the other had a...
