Abstract excerpt
Mutations in mitochondrial DNA are associated potentially with nonsyndromic and aminoglycoside-induced hearing loss. Several nucleotide changes associated with hearing impairment were described; however, a variable frequency of deafness-associated mutations in different populations has been observed. The aim of the present study was to determine the frequency of pathological mutations in mitochondrial 12S rRNA...
