Abstract excerpt
Mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), especially in mitochondrial 12S rRNA and transfer RNA(tRNA)Ser(UCN) genes, are important causes of non‑syndromic hearing loss. However, the molecular mechanism underlying mt‑tRNA mutations in clinical hearing impairment are not fully understood. The present study assessed the molecular characterization of two Chinese families with non‑syndromic hearing loss, who both...
