Deafness, unilateral and vestibular dysfunction (PTPRQ: c.9230_9231insA)
Unilateral deafness associated with a vestibular syndrome is a genetic condition linked to an abnormality of the inner ear. It can result in hearing loss on one side as well as balance disorders.
The observed clinical signs include head tilt, circling movements, lack of limb coordination, and abnormal eye movements.
In the Doberman, a disease presenting similar symptoms has been described and is associated with a mutation of the MYO7A gene. For more information, please consult the page: DOG-DINGS.
