Abstract excerpt
To elucidate the pathophysiological and genetic mechanisms of hearing loss associated with the homoplasmic mitochondrial A1555G mutation in the absence of aminoglycoside exposure, we conducted audiological and genetic analyses on 67 maternally related members of a large Japanese family carrying this mutation. A consistent pattern was evident in the audiograms, with features of sensory presbycusis, cochlear origin...
