Mitochondrial non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss

MedGen UID:
463247
Concept ID:
C3151897
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: Deafness, nonsyndromic sensorineural, mitochondrial; MT-CO1-Related Hearing Loss and Deafness; MT-RNR1-Related Hearing Loss and Deafness; MT-TS1-Related Hearing Loss and Deafness; Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss and Deafness, Mitochondrial
Modes of inheritance:
Mitochondrial inheritance
MedGen UID:
165802
Concept ID:
C0887941
Genetic Function
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on the mitochondrial genome. Because the mitochondrial genome is essentially always maternally inherited, a mitochondrial condition can only be transmitted by females, although the condition can affect both sexes. The proportion of mutant mitochondria can vary (heteroplasmy).
 
Genes (locations): MT-CO1; MT-RNR1; MT-TS1
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0010779

Definition

Mitochondrial nonsyndromic hearing loss and deafness is characterized by sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) of variable onset and severity. Pathogenic variants in MT-RNR1 can be associated with predisposition to aminoglycoside ototoxicity and/or late-onset SNHL. Hearing loss associated with aminoglycoside ototoxicity is bilateral and severe to profound, occurring within a few days to weeks after administration of any amount (even a single dose) of an aminoglycoside antibiotic such as gentamycin, tobramycin, amikacin, kanamycin, or streptomycin. Pathogenic variants in MT-TS1 are usually associated with childhood onset of SNHL that is generally nonsyndromic – although the MT-TS1 substitution m.7445A>G has been found in some families who also have palmoplantar keratoderma (scaling, hyperkeratosis, and honeycomb appearance of the skin of the palms, soles, and heels). [from GeneReviews]

Additional description

From OMIM
Mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been found to be associated with nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss. Matrilineal relatives within and among families carrying certain pathogenic mitochondrial mutations exhibit a wide range of penetrance, severity, and age of onset of hearing loss, indicating that the mitochondrial mutations by themselves are not sufficient to produce a deafness phenotype. Modifier factors, such as nuclear and mitochondrial genes, or environmental factors, such as exposure to aminoglycosides, appear to modulate the phenotypic manifestations (summary by Tang et al., 2007).  http://www.omim.org/entry/500008
