| Sumario: | Introduction and objective: Hereditary causes are responsible for half of cases of sensorineural hearing loss in young people. MYH14 mutation is autosomal dominant. Description: A 33 years-old patient with moderate-to-severe sensorineural hearing loss. Genetic study revealed MYH14 mutation. Discussion: This is a case of post-lingual sensorineural deafness, compatible with autosomal dominant inheritance. MYH14 mutation seems to increase susceptibility to acoustic trauma, which may justify the late onset of hearing loss. Conclusions: MYH14 mutation is, probably, a cause for hearing loss. Genetic study has, therefore, a growing importance. |
