Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of mitochondrial modifiers in the development of deafness associated with 12S rRNA A1555G mutation. METHODS: Four Chinese families with nonsyndromic and aminoglycoside-induced deafness were studied by clinical and genetic evaluation, molecular and biochemical analyses of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). RESULTS: These families exhibited high penetrance and expressivity of hearing...
