Irreversible profound hearing loss in early childhood impairs severely the development of spoken language, behavior and cognition. Hearing loss caused by aminoglycoside antibiotics in neonates treated for sepsis in intensive care units is linked to variants in the MT-RNR1 gene. Identifying the population at risk in acute medical settings is substantially limited by genotyping restricted to m.1555A>G only with 20% failure rate of the currently approved point-of-care test. We report an innovative ...
