Any autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the WFS1 gene.
Comprehensive, easy-to-understand information about this condition
How we create this content →The documentation for autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss 6 is limited primarily due to the rarity of the condition and the recent identification of its genetic basis. As a result, systematic clinical studies have not been extensively conducted, which hampers the availability of comprehensive clinical features and treatment options. This can understandably lead to frustration for patients and families seeking more information.
To navigate your condition effectively, consider consulting with an audiologist who specializes in genetic hearing loss. Genetic counseling can also provide valuable insights into the implications of the WFS1 mutation for you and your family. While there are currently no patient organizations specifically for this condition, resources such as the Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center (GARD) at rarediseases.info.nih.gov may offer additional support and information. Participating in genetic testing could also help clarify the risk for family members.
