Abstract excerpt
Mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been found to be associated with sensorineural hearing loss. We report the clinical, genetic, and molecular characterization of one Argentinean family with aminoglycoside-induced impairment in two of their members. Clinical evaluation revealed the variable phenotype of hearing impairment including audiometric configuration in these subjects. Mutational analysis of the...
