Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Mitochondrial mutations have been shown to be responsible for syndromic as well as non-syndromic hearing loss. The G7444A mitochondrial DNA mutation affects COI/the precursor of tRNA(Ser(UCN)), encoding the first subunit of cytochrome oxidase. Here we report on the first Greek family with the G7444A mitochondrial DNA mutation. METHODS: Clinical, cytogenetic, and molecular methods were employed in this...
