  • High-frequency hearing impairment

Conditions with this feature

Pettigrew syndrome
MedGen UID:
162924
Concept ID:
C0796254
Disease or Syndrome
X-linked Dandy-Walker malformation with intellectual disability, basal ganglia disease and seizures (XDIBS), or Pettigrew syndrome is a central nervous system malformation characterized by severe intellectual deficit, early hypotonia with progression to spasticity and contractures, choreoathetosis, seizures, dysmorphic face (long face with prominent forehead), and brain imaging abnormalities such as Dandy-Walker malformation, and iron deposition. (From Mondo:0010574)
Progeroid short stature with pigmented nevi
MedGen UID:
224702
Concept ID:
C1261128
Disease or Syndrome
Mulvihill-Smith syndrome is characterized by premature aging, multiple pigmented nevi, lack of facial subcutaneous fat, microcephaly, short stature, sensorineural hearing loss, and mental retardation. Immunodeficiency may also be a feature. Adult manifestations include the development of tumors, a sleep disorder with severe insomnia, and cognitive decline (summary by Yagihashi et al., 2009).
Autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss 7
MedGen UID:
318614
Concept ID:
C1832379
Disease or Syndrome
Autosomal dominant deafness-7 (DFNA7) is a form of progressive sensorineural hearing loss with highly variable age at onset and severity, even within families. The age at onset ranges from congenital to mid-adulthood. Some patients may have associated vertigo (summary by Wesdorp et al., 2018).
Hearing loss, X-linked 4
MedGen UID:
376307
Concept ID:
C1848204
Disease or Syndrome
X-linked deafness-4 is a nonsyndromic form of progressive hearing loss with postlingual onset. Affected males show earlier onset of hearing loss than affected females (summary by del Castillo et al., 1996).
Deafness, autosomal dominant 39, with dentinogenesis imperfecta 1
MedGen UID:
340145
Concept ID:
C1854146
Disease or Syndrome
Autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss 17
MedGen UID:
350942
Concept ID:
C1863659
Disease or Syndrome
Any autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the MYH9 gene.
Autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss 2B
MedGen UID:
390742
Concept ID:
C2675236
Disease or Syndrome
Any autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the GJB3 gene.
Retinitis pigmentosa, X-linked, and sinorespiratory infections, with or without deafness
MedGen UID:
440716
Concept ID:
C2749137
Disease or Syndrome
X-linked retinitis pigmentosa and sinorespiratory infections with or without deafness (RPSRDF) is characterized by typical features of RP, including night blindness, constricted visual fields, progressive reduction in visual acuity, bone-spicule pigmentation, and extinguished responses on electroretinography. Affected individuals also experience severe recurrent sinorespiratory infections, and some develop progressive hearing loss. Carrier females may show an attenuated ocular and/or respiratory phenotype (Zito et al., 2003; Moore et al., 2006).
Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 55
MedGen UID:
1806598
Concept ID:
C5676915
Disease or Syndrome
Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency-55 (COXPD55) is characterized by global developmental delay, hypotonia, short stature, and impaired intellectual development with speech disabilities in childhood. Indolent progressive external ophthalmoplegia phenotype has been described in 1 patient (summary by Olahova et al., 2021). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency, see COXPD1 (609060).
