PURPOSE: Aminoglycoside-induced ototoxicity appears to have a genetic susceptibility in some individuals, and the A1555G mutation in the mitochondrial 12S ribosomal RNA gene has been shown to be responsible for this susceptibility in all familial cases. An Italian family with 5 family members who became deaf after aminoglycoside exposure presented to us, and molecular analysis excluded the A1555G mutation. The purpose of this study is to identify the molecular basis for the aminoglycoside susceptibility in this family.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Two sisters and three of their children developed severe to profound high-frequency hearing loss after aminoglycoside exposure. DNA was extracted from the blood of these individuals and their unaffected relatives, and analyzed for mitochondrial DNA mutations. The region around nucleotide 961 was also cloned and individual clones were sequenced.
RESULTS: Sequencing of the 12S ribosomal RNA gene revealed a thymidine deletion at position 961, with a complex pattern of sequence around this mutation. Sequencing of individual clones around the 961 mutation demonstrated a varying number of inserted cytosines in different mitochondrial molecules.
CONCLUSION: This family establishes the nucleotide 961 thymidine deletion associated with a varying number of inserted cytosines in the mitochondrial 12S ribosomal RNA gene as the second pathogenic mutation that can predispose to aminoglycoside ototoxicity. It demonstrates the clinical relevance of taking a family history before administering aminoglycosides to any patient. In addition, it would be desirable for sporadic patients with aminoglycoside-induced hearing loss to be screened with molecular tests for the presence of the 1555 and 961 mutations. Such screening could significantly decrease the prevalence of aminoglycoside-induced hearing loss.
