Figure 3From: MRPS18CP2 alleles and DEFA3absence as putative chromosome 8p23.1 modifiers of hearing loss due to mtDNA mutation A1555G in the 12S rRNA gene MRPS18CP2 sequence and expression analysis. (A) Alignment of MRPS18CP2 pseudogene with MRPS18C mRNA (GenBank accession number NM_016067). Asterisks indicate sequence changes between the gene mRNA and the chromosome 8p23.1 pseudogene. (B) RT-PCR experiments showing expression of a transcript containing MRPS18CP2 pseudogene in different tissues.Back to article page
