DDOD syndrome
Definition:
Dominant deafness-onychodystrophy (DDOD) is an autosomal dominant syndrome characterized mainly by congenital sensorineural hearing loss accompanied by dystrophic or absent nails. Patients with DDOD syndrome have normal development and cognitive functions. It has been suggested that de novo mutation in ATP6V1B2 impairs lysosome acidification and causes DDOD.
