deafness autosomal recessive type 10

deafness autosomal recessive type 10

A congenital autosomal recessive form (OMIM:605316) of sensorineural deafness caused by damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the auditory cortex.
Molecular pathology
Defects in TMPRSS3, which encodes a putative serine protease that acts as a permissive factor for cochlear hair cell survival, cause deafness autosomal recessive type 10.
