Mitochondrial gene variants that met the criterion for association with hearing loss (HL) are underlined and in bold type. aData from the mtSNP database [48]. bBased on the results of the multiple alignment by ClustalW. See Additional File 1: Table S1 for information on the species used to calculate the sequence conservation. cUppsala mtDB database [50]. dEach number in parentheses indicates the number of individuals with a heteroplasmic variant.
