Very rare: < 1/1.000.000. Probably autosomal recessive transmission.

Association of:

-        sensorineural deafness of variable severity

And sometimes:

-        neurological disorders: progressive cerebellar ataxia, dyspraxia, polyneuropathy, mental deficit

-        short stature: < P3 in 50% of cases.

Differential diagnosis: Turner syndrome (XO).
