Unique inheritance of streptomycin-induced deafness

K Higashi. Clin Genet. 1989 Jun.

Abstract

Analysis of reported families which include two or more members with streptomycin-induced hearing loss reveals that the trait of high susceptibility of cochlea to streptomycin is transmitted primarily through females. This is not explained by ordinary Mendelian inheritance; rather it is best understood by extranuclear inheritance.
