Deafness, X-linked 2; Dfnx2

Description

DFNX2, also known as DFN3, is an X-linked recessive disorder characterized by progressive conductive and sensorineural hearing loss and a pathognomonic temporal bone deformity that includes dilatation of the inner auditory canal and a fistulous connection between the internal auditory canal and the cochlear basal turn, resulting in a perilymphatic fluid 'gusher' during stapes surgery (summary by de Kok et al., 1995 and Song et al., 2010).See also choroideremia, deafness, and mental retardation (OMIM ), a contiguous gene deletion syndrome involving the POU3F4 and CHM (OMIM ) genes on Xq21; isolated choroideremia (OMIM ) is caused by mutation in the CHM gene.
