Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To ascertain whether other variations coexist with 1555(A--> G) mutation in the mitochondrial DNA and may aggravate the severity of hearing loss or increase the penetrance of 1555(A--> G) mutation in a large family with maternally inherited nonsyndromic deafness in Huaiyin, Jiangsu province. METHODS: PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to screen both the nt1555 and the...
