Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations may contribute to aging and age-related diseases. Previously, we reported that accumulation of mtDNA mutations is associated with age-related hearing loss in mice carrying a mutator allele of the mitochondrial Polg DNA polymerase. To elucidate the role of mtDNA mutations in the pathogenesis of age-related hearing loss or presbycusis, we performed large scale gene expression...
