| A rare syndromic hereditary optic neuropathy disorder with characteristics of early-onset severe progressive visual impairment, optic disc pallor and central scotoma, variably associated with dyschromatopsia, auditory neuropathy (for example mild progressive sensorineural hearing loss), sensorimotor axonal neuropathy and occasionally moderate hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. There is evidence the disease is caused by homozygous mutation in the TMEM126A gene on chromosome 11q1. |
