The A1555G mitochondrial mutation is the main alteration associated with aminoglycoside-induced deafness. OBJECTIVE to investigate the prevalence of the A1555G mutation in patients sensorineural hearing loss patients with and without aminoglycosides antibiotic use. METHODS a study of 27 cases with deafness as the sample, and 100 neonates with normal hearing as the control group. DNA was extracted from blood leukocyte samples, and specific oligonucleotide primers were designed to amplify the cytochrome b gene and the region which encloses the A1555G mutation of the mitocondrial DNA using the polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism. METHODS a cross-sectional case study. RESULTS a region of the cytochrome b gene was amplified and the presence of the mtDNA was confirmed in all of the 127 cases. The A1555G mutation was not found in any of the 27 patients with hearing loss or the control group with 100 neonates. CONCLUSIONS the results agree with studies stating that the A1555G mutation is not prevalent in the Americas. There is interest in establishing the real prevalence of this mutation and to investigate other mutations that may cause hearing loss, associated or not with the use of aminoglycosides, in the Brazilian population.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment.
