Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic mitochondrial DNA mutations are most often implicated in inherited and acquired hearing impairment. The current review mainly focuses on the 12S rRNA mitochondrial gene mutations associated with non-syndromic deafness without or after aminoglycosides exposure. Aminoglycoside-induced and nonsyndromic deafness has been shown to have a genetic susceptibility and the pathogenic mitochondrial 12S rRNA...
