"New" autosomal-dominant infantile sensorineural non-progressive high-frequency hearing loss: report on a Brazilian family.
We report on a three-generation Brazilian family with seven patients affected with non-progressive high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss with no associated anomalies first noted in early infancy. To our knowledge this is the first report on this autosomal-dominant condition. Clinical, audiological, and genetic aspects are discussed.
