Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To confirm the effect of genetic susceptibility to aminoglycoside ototoxicity. METHOD: Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from 62 members of 9 aminoglycoside induced deafness families was analysed by PCR-Restriction endonuclease digestion. RESULT: The nucleotide 1555A-->G mutation in 12S rRNA gene of mtDNA was identified in 20 members of 5 families. CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that this mutation is a...
