Abstract excerpt
Several mitochondrial DNA variants increase risk for developing sensorineural hearing loss following exposure to aminoglycoside antibiotics, a particular concern in the premature infant population, as many of these babies spend time in neonatal intensive care units and are treated with aminoglycosides. To determine the relative prevalence of five mitochondrial DNA variants in the 12S rRNA gene, MT-RNR1, we...
