Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial DNA mutations play an important role in hereditary hearing loss. The present study aimed at identifying more novel genetic variants of mitochondrial DNA. Complete Mitochondrial genomes were detected in 97 Northwestern Chinese probands with non-syndromic hearing loss and 376 control subjects. The variants were evaluated for the pathogenicity using the following criteria: (1) present in <1% of the...
