Deafness, autosomal recessive, 93 (DFNB93) [MIM:614899]: A form of non-syndromic deafness characterized by stable, bilateral, symmetric, prelingual moderate to severe deafness. Hearing impairment is slightly more pronounced in the mid-frequencies, resulting in a distinctive shallow U-shaped audiogram. {Experimental EvidencePubMed:22981119, Experimental EvidencePubMed:28183797}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
