Abstract

Hearing loss is a relatively frequent defect in children with a genetic or predisposition basis in about 50% of cases. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)-associated disorder often present with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) either in isolation or as a part of a multisystem disorder in adults but the frequency in pediatric cases is unknown. We analysed deafness-related mtDNA mutations in 80 deaf children to assess the relative frequency of alterations in childhood-onset SNHL. In 16 patients in whom maternal inheritance was possible, we screened for new mutations likely to affect mitochondrial protein synthesis. In one child we detected a novel mutation (T1095C) in the 12S rRNA gene. This mutation fulfils the suggested criteria for definition of a disease-related nucleotide variant. No mutations were found in other patients. Although we cannot exclude the presence of still undefined new mtDNA mutations, our data suggest that mtDNA defect are not common in childhood-onset SNHL.
