Mitochondrial hearing loss mutations among Finnish preterm and term-born infants

Mitochondrial hearing loss mutations among Finnish preterm and term-born infants

Mitochondrial ribosomal 12S subunit gene (MTRNR1) is a hot spot for hearing loss mutations. Mutations such as m.1555A>G, m.1494C>T and m.1095C>T, cause sensitivity to aminoglycosides. Aminoglycoside treatment induces permanent hearing loss or deafness in the carriers and should therefore be...
