Any autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the MET gene.
Features include always present findings: Inner ear hearing loss (sensorineural hearing impairment).
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |
|---|---|---|
Ears | 1 | Inner ear hearing loss (sensorineural hearing impairment) |
Age of onset: infancy.
MET encodes MET proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase (1,390 aa). Receptor tyrosine kinase that transduces signals from the extracellular matrix into the cytoplasm by binding to hepatocyte growth factor/HGF ligand. Highest expression in Nerve Tibial (21.3 TPM) and Cells Cultured fibroblasts (18.5 TPM).
Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 97 is associated with mutations in the MET gene on chromosome 7.
The MET protein participates in GNAT1 (Met removed) and Signaling by MET pathways.
MET is classified as a druggable target (Cell Surface, Clinically Actionable, Drug Resistance, Druggable Genome, Kinase, and Tyrosine Kinase categories) with score 3.5.
Genetic testing for MET is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 97 has been reported in the published literature.
Phenotype severity distribution: 1 always present feature.
No clinical trials have been registered for autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 97.
8 publications have been identified in PubMed for autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 97. Research spans Basic Science / Preclinical (38%), Diagnostic / Biomarker (13%), and Review / Meta-Analysis (13%).
