Our study demonstrates that a maternal family history of diabetes and either a personal and/or family history of deafness only distinguish half of patients with MIDD from Sri Lankan subjects with young-onset diabetes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Thirty MIDD patients (85.7%) of 35 exhibited bilateral MPD characterized by linear pigmentation surrounding the macula and optic disc. In 24 of these 30 patients, visual acuity was 20/25 or more in both eyes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Methods:The choriocapillaris under the central macula was imaged with the Optovue RTVue XR Avanti using a 10 μm slab thickness. [medworm.com]

Eighty-six percent of patients who received an ophthalmologic examination had macular pattern dystrophy (a specific retinal lesion). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Macular pattern dystrophy is a retinal lesion that is commonly seen in MIDD ( 8 ). This has the appearance of linear pigmentation on the retina surrounding the macula and the optic disc. [academic.oup.com]

Combined screening criteria of any two of maternal history of diabetes, personal history of hearing impairment and family history of hearing impairment only identified five (55%) of the carriers, with a positive predictive value of 7.4%. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

However, some patients with chronic kidney disease and deafness are often misdiagnosed with Alport syndrome. [9], [17], [19] Females without microscopic hematuria and macular dystrophy are occasionally diagnosed with X-linked Alport syndrome, [20] but [ijpmonline.org]
