Abstract excerpt
Some cases of maternally inherited isolated deafness are caused by mtDNA mutations, frequently following an exposure to aminoglycosides. Two mitochondrial genes have been clearly described as being affected by mutations responsible for this pathology: the ribosomal RNA 12S gene and the transfer RNA serine (UCN) gene. A previous study identified several candidate novel mtDNA mutations, localized in a variety of...
