An autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the MARVELD2 gene, encoding MARVEL domain-containing protein 2. The condition is characterized by profound prelingual deafness.
Features include: Prelingual sensorineural hearing impairment.
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |
|---|---|---|
Ears | 1 | Prelingual sensorineural hearing impairment |
MARVELD2 encodes MARVEL domain containing 2 (558 aa). Plays a role in the formation of tricellular tight junctions and of epithelial barriers.
Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 49 is associated with mutations in the MARVELD2 gene on chromosome 5.
MARVELD2 is classified as a druggable target (Transporter category) with score 0.0.
Genetic testing for MARVELD2 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 49 has been reported in the published literature.
No clinical trials have been registered for autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 49.
7 publications have been identified in PubMed for autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 49. Research spans Diagnostic / Biomarker (29%), Case Report / Case Series (29%), and Other (14%).
