Abstract excerpt
We explored the clinical and molecular characterization of a Chinese family with non-syndromic hearing impairment. Clinical evaluations revealed a possible maternal inheritance pattern, and showed an extremely similar phenotype of hearing loss including the age of onset, severity, and audiometric configuration. Sequence analysis of the mitochondrial 12S rRNA and tRNA(Ser(UCN)) genes led to the identification of a...
