Description

MELAS (Mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke) syndrome is a rare progressive multisystemic disorder characterized by encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes. Other features include endocrinopathy, heart disease, diabetes, hearing loss, and neurological and psychiatric manifestations.

Most common symptoms of MELAS

  • Intellectual disability
  • Seizures
  • Global developmental delay

MITOCHONDRIAL NON-SYNDROMIC SENSORINEURAL DEAFNESS

Alternate names

MITOCHONDRIAL NON-SYNDROMIC SENSORINEURAL DEAFNESS Is also known as isolated mitochondrial neurosensory deafness, isolated mitochondrial sensorineural deafness, mitochondrial non-syndromic neurosensory deafness

Description

Mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been found to be associated with nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss. Matrilineal relatives within and among families carrying certain pathogenic mitochondrial mutations exhibit a wide range of penetrance, severity, and age of onset of hearing loss, indicating that the mitochondrial mutations by themselves are not sufficient to produce a deafness phenotype. Modifier factors, such as nuclear and mitochondrial genes, or environmental factors, such as exposure to aminoglycosides, appear to modulate the phenotypic manifestations (summary by Tang et al., 2007).

Most common symptoms of MITOCHONDRIAL NON-SYNDROMIC SENSORINEURAL DEAFNESS

  • Hearing impairment
  • Sensorineural hearing impairment
  • Vertigo
  • Tinnitus
