deafness-infertility syndrome

deafness-infertility syndrome

A condition (OMIM:611102) of male nonsyndromic sensorineural deafness with an inability to father children.
 
Molecular pathology
Defects of STRC, which encodes a protein of the sensory hair cells in the inner ear involved with mechanoreception, and the contiguous CATSPER2, which encodes a sperm-associated cation channel, cause deafness-infertility syndrome.
