Abstract excerpt
Mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are one of the most important causes of sensorineural hearing loss, especially in the MT-RNR1 gene. In the present study we have performed mutational screening for m.1555A>G and a region of the MT-RNR1 gene in 303 unrelated patients (including family members of 25 probands) with nonsyndromic hearing loss and 200 controls. Three homoplasmic variants, namely, m.1453A>G,...
