Prognosis
Neurological involvement is one of the most serious complications; it is thought to indicate a poor prognosis, with severe disability. Neurological manifestations may occur within 5 years of onset of the disease. [vasculitis.ca]
Favorable prognosis is indicated by preserved action potential preserved R1 or reappearance of R1 after 3 weeks. About 15% of patients will have permanent sequelae. [neuroweb.us]
Etiology
The exact etiology is unknown. Similar to other forms of dementia, age is the most important risk factor for developing AD. Multiple genetic factors have been linked to its development. [quizlet.com]
However, the color vision defects that occur appear to be of central etiology. [aao.org]

Epidemiology
From the molecular data presently available, three main epidemiologic results emerge: (a) Mutations in the gene encoding a gap junction protein, connexin 26, account for about half of the cases of prelingual isolated deafness in Caucasian populations; [ommbid.mhmedical.com]
Pathophysiology
Each form is introduced by a brief history of how the gene was discovered, followed by the description of its clinical features and the established or putative role of the encoded protein, as well as the current hypotheses concerning the associated pathophysiological [ommbid.mhmedical.com]

The underlying pathophysiology involves abnormal aggregation of β-amyloid protein. The characteristic pathologic features are amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. [aao.org]
Prevention
However, during the transit of TIMM8A from cytoplasm into mitochondrion, the Cys residues probably coordinate zinc, thereby preventing folding and allowing its transfer across mitochondrial outer membrane. [abcam.com]

Most mutations in the TIMM8A gene result in the absence of functional TIMM8A protein inside the mitochondria, which prevents the formation of the TIMM8A/TIMM13 complex. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
