Conditions with this feature

Usher syndrome type 1C
MedGen UID:
338506
Concept ID:
C1848604
Disease or Syndrome
Usher syndrome type I (USH1) is characterized by congenital, bilateral, profound sensorineural hearing loss, vestibular areflexia, and adolescent-onset retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Unless fitted with a cochlear implant, individuals do not typically develop speech. RP, a progressive, bilateral, symmetric degeneration of rod and cone functions of the retina, develops in adolescence, resulting in progressively constricted visual fields and impaired visual acuity.
Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 89
MedGen UID:
462701
Concept ID:
C3151351
Disease or Syndrome
Any autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the KARS gene.
Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 84B
MedGen UID:
767073
Concept ID:
C3554159
Disease or Syndrome
Any autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the OTOGL gene.
Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 18B
MedGen UID:
767077
Concept ID:
C3554163
Disease or Syndrome
Any autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the OTOG gene.
Lichtenstein-Knorr syndrome
MedGen UID:
898996
Concept ID:
C4225383
Disease or Syndrome
Lichtenstein-Knorr syndrome is an autosomal recessive neurologic disorder characterized by postnatal onset of severe progressive sensorineural hearing loss and progressive cerebellar ataxia. Features usually develop in childhood or young adulthood (summary by Guissart et al., 2015). Some patients with SLC9A1 mutations may not have deafness (Iwama et al., 2018)
Hearing loss, autosomal recessive 121
MedGen UID:
1844128
Concept ID:
C5882709
Disease or Syndrome
Autosomal recessive deafness-121 (DFNB121) is characterized by congenital or prelingual moderate sensorineural hearing loss (Ramzan et al., 2023).
