Our patient presented with congenital deafness, hypotonia, dysphygia and ataxia in early childhood. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Possibility of X-linked form was unlikely as most affected patients have early presentation incontrast to this patient who presented with deformities at 13 years of age. [indianpediatrics.net]

Microdontia was the most constant finding that was present in all affected individuals. Michel aplasia was present in most cases although other severe inner ear anomalies were detected in some individuals, especially with the p.R95W mutation. [miami.pure.elsevier.com]

All the affected members (21 individuals) presented with hearing impairment and communicated with sign language. [cags.org.ae]

Upon oral treatment with folinic acid the boy regained consciousness while the epilepsy could be successfully managed only with additional pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The aforementioned t-test was also used to compare pre-treatment and post-treatment levels of 5MTHF in the cerebrospinal fluid in the group with cerebral folate deficiency and our previously established reference data obtained from the 99 normal controls [nejm.org]

Treatment [ edit ] enrollment in appropriate early intervention programs for the deaf and hard of hearing. consideration of vibrotactile hearing devices or brain stem implants for individuals with Congenital labyrinthine aplasia Evaluation for cochlear [en.wikipedia.org]

Etiology Linkage analysis followed by sequencing of candidate genes led to identification of three different homozygous mutations in the FGF3 gene (11q13). Genetic counseling Transmission is autosomal recessive. [orpha.net]

The central role of FGF23 in its etiology and its structural similarity to FGF3 lead us to hypothesize that the mutation found in FGF3 could also be involved in the pathogenesis of hypophosphatemic rickets in this patient. [indianpediatrics.net]

Prevention of Secondary Complications Regardless of its etiology, uncorrected hearing loss has consistent sequelae: Auditory deprivation through age two years is associated with poor reading performance, poor communication skills, and poor speech production [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
