Abstract

Sensorineural hearing loss and scoliosis are common in several disease groups, such as hereditary connective tissue syndrome, hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy, lysosomal storage syndrome and endocrine disorders. These diseases have significant phenotypic diversity and genetic heterogeneity, different subtypes show inconsistent characteristics of deafness. Moreover, subtypes with similar clinical manifestations have different genetic mechanisms. Using new generation sequencing technology, considerable progress has been achieved in these diseases. This paper reviews clinical manifestations and genetic mechanism of syndromes combining sensorineural hearing loss and scoliosis.
