Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome with unusual profound sensorineural hearing loss
Abstract
The Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome is caused by mutations in the thyroid hormone transporter, Monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8). It is characterized by profound intellectual disability and abnormal thyroid function. We report on a patient with Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome (AHDS) with profound sensorineural hearing loss which is not usually a feature of AHDS and which may have been due to a coexisting nonsense mutation in Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF).
Keywords: Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome; MCT8; MITF; sensorineural hearing loss.
