The rs267606618 C allele (also known as the 1095C allele) is assigned as a MT-RNR1 increased risk of aminoglycoside-induced hearing loss allele by CPIC. Patients with the C allele may have an increased risk of experiencing aminoglycoside-induced hearing loss as compared to patients with the T allele. MT-RNR1 is a mitochondrial gene and is inherited as a haploid (i.e. there is only ever one allele present). Other genetic and clinical factors may also influence risk of aminoglycoside-induced hearing loss.
