Mutations in the mitochondrial tRNAs have been reported to be the important cause of hearing loss. However, only a few cases have been identified thus far and the prevalence of mitochondrial tRNA mutations in hearing-impaired patients remain unclear. Here we performed the mutational analysis of 22 mitochondrial tRNA genes in a large cohort of 887 Han Chinese subjects with hearing loss by Sanger sequencing. The...
