β¦ Synopsis
We report on a family with early-onset sensorineural hearing loss, abnormal retinal pigment epithelium granularity, accumulation of creamy-white lesions at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium particularly superior to the arcade, and selective discoloration (brown) of molars or canine deciduous teeth that follows an apparent autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. This appears to be a new syndrome that can be distinguished from the known otodental, oculo-acoustic and flecked retina syndromes by the occurrence of distinct dental and ocular abnormalities.
