The mitochondrial COI/tRNASER(UCN) G7444A mutation may be associated with hearing impairment in a Han Chinese family

Variations in mitochondrial genome have been found to be associated with hearing loss. Of these, the mitochondrial 12S rRNA and tRNASer(UCN) are the hot-spots for pathogenic variants associated with deafness. To understand the putative role of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants in hearing loss, we r...
