The present invention relates to a real time quantitative TaqMan MGB probe useful for detecting the mitochondrial gene C1494T mutation associated with maternally inherited deafness and the use thereof. The present invention design a Taqman mutant probe and a wild type MGB probe, and a pair of primers. A maternally inherited deafness associated with mitochondrial gene C1494T mutation can be diagnosed by the method of real time quantitative Taqman MGB probe. This method is characteristic of easily operating, fast, high specificity, high sensitivity, and the interpretation of the result is intuitionistic, accurate and reliable. It's suitable for large scale screen and preventive examination of mitochondrial gene C1494T mutation associated with maternally inherited deafness.
