Two databases, OMIM and Mitomap, are especially useful in exploring human mitochondrial mutations. If you are interested in learning whether aminoglycoside-induced deafness is inherited maternally, and what gene(s)is/are involved, which of the following would give you the most information?
A)the Mitomap position map with gene names
B)the sequence with specifically altered amino acid coding
C)the OMIM description of symptoms and diagnosis
D)the OMIM description of the TRMU gene at 22q13
E)the Mitomap loci of genes associated with deafness
