X-linked external auditory canal atresia-dilated internal auditory canal-facial dysmorphism syndrome(DFNX7)

MedGen UID:: 1648389
•Concept ID:: C4746975
•: Disease or Syndrome

Synonym:	DEAFNESS, X-LINKED 7
Modes of inheritance:	X-linked recessive inheritance MedGen UID: 375779 •Concept ID: C1845977 • Finding Source: Orphanet A mode of inheritance that is observed for recessive traits related to a gene encoded on the X chromosome. In the context of medical genetics, X-linked recessive disorders manifest in males (who have one copy of the X chromosome and are thus hemizygotes), but generally not in female heterozygotes who have one mutant and one normal allele.

Definition

DFNX7 is a congenital form of bilateral mixed or conductive hearing loss, which may be progressive. It is not associated with vestibular symptoms (Xing et al., 2017). [from OMIM]
