[Do hemoglobinopathies correlate with genetically-induced hearing disorders?].
In hereditary deafness a battery of audiological and medical investigations are needed to find out the aetiological factors. We tested the blood of children impaired hearing for hemoglobinopathies. Such anomalies might provide a clue to the aetiology. We found abnormal structures of hemoglobin in 5 children suffering from Fanconi's anemia. Four of these children had prenatal conductive hearing loss. The other children showed no abnormal hemoglobin.
