Deafness and myopia syndrome (disorder)
Deafness and myopia syndrome
High myopia and sensorineural deafness
Syndrome with characteristics of moderate to profound hearing loss in both ears and severe nearsightedness (high myopia). The hearing loss may be described as sensorineural or it may be caused by auditory neuropathy. The hearing loss is either present at birth or begins in infancy, before the child learns to speak. This syndrome is caused by mutations in the SLITRK6 gene. The protein produced from this gene is found primarily in the inner ear and the eye. SLITRK6 gene mutations result in an abnormally short SLITRK6 protein that is not anchored properly to the cell membrane meaning the protein is unable to function normally. Impaired SLITRK6 protein function leads to abnormal nerve development in the inner ear and improperly controlled eyeball growth.
