MYH9 related disorders

Several organs can be affected by mutations of the MYH9 gene, with which several autosomal dominant diseases are associated. Their symptoms include hearing loss, haematological abnormalities, and hereditary nephritis.

Clinical Findings

Disorder Macro-thrombo-cytopenia Leukocyte inclusions Nephritis Sensorineural deafness Cataract
May-Hegglin anomaly + Dohle bodies
Sebastian syndrome + +
Epstein syndrome + + +
Fechtner syndrome + + + + +
Nonsyndromic sensorineural deafness 17 +

Symptoms

Deafness
Sensorineural deafness is typical of MYH9 mutations.
