Abstract excerpt
Mitochondria have essential role in cellular energy metabolism and defects in their function lead to many metabolic diseases. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations have been associated with number diseases such as nonsyndromic and aminoglycoside-induced hearing loss. Mutational screening of entire 12SrRNA and tRNA (ser (UCN)) genes in 107 unrelated Iranian patients with amino glycoside-induced and nonsyndromic...
