A mtDNA A1555G base Substitution in a highly conserved region of the 12S rRNA gene has been reported to be the main cause of aminoglycoside induced deafness. This mutation is found in approximately 3% of Japanese and 0.5-2.4% of European sensorineural deafness patients. We report a high prevalence (5.3%) of the A1555G mutation in sensorineural deafness patients in Sulawesi (Indonesia). Our result confirms the importance of determining the prevalence of the mtDNA A1555G mutation in different Populations, and the need for mutation detection before the administration of aminoglycoside antibiotics.
