Abstract excerpt
Thirteen Japanese families (ten of which were from the northern part of Japan), with sensorineural hearing loss associated with the 1555 A to G (A1555G) mitochondrial mutation, a known cause of non-syndromic hearing loss, were phylogenetically analysed using data obtained by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and D-loop sequencing of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Various types of mtDNA polymorphism were...
