Any autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the LRTOMT gene.
Features include: Abnormal vestibular function, Abnormal fundus morphology, and Congenital sensorineural hearing impairment.

Ears | 2 | Abnormal vestibular function, Congenital sensorineural hearing impairment |
LRTOMT encodes leucine rich transmembrane and O-methyltransferase domain containing (291 aa). Catalyzes the O-methylation, and thereby the inactivation, of catecholamine neurotransmitters and catechol hormones. Required for auditory function.
Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 63 is caused by mutations in the LRTOMT gene on chromosome 11.
The LRTOMT protein participates in LRTOMT transfers Met to DA, forming 3MT pathway.
LRTOMT is classified as a druggable target (Druggable Genome and Enzyme categories) with score 0.0.
Genetic testing for LRTOMT is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
No clinical trials have been registered for autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 63.
7 publications have been identified in PubMed for autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 63. Research spans Case Report / Case Series (29%), Basic Science / Preclinical (29%), and Review / Meta-Analysis (14%).
