Modes of inheritance:	Autosomal dominant inheritance MedGen UID: 141047 •Concept ID: C0443147 • Intellectual Product Source: Orphanet A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele. Mitochondrial inheritance MedGen UID: 165802 •Concept ID: C0887941 • Genetic Function Source: Orphanet A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on the mitochondrial genome. Because the mitochondrial genome is essentially always maternally inherited, a mitochondrial condition can only be transmitted by females, although the condition can affect both sexes. The proportion of mutant mitochondria can vary (heteroplasmy). Autosomal dominant inheritance (Orphanet) Mitochondrial inheritance (Orphanet)

Definition

Palmoplantar keratoderma with deafness is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by keratoderma confined to the palms and soles, and variable progressive sensorineural hearing loss. Onset is in childhood. No other cutaneous or systemic abnormalities, including hypohidrosis or pseudo-ainhum, are present (Uyguner et al., 2002, de Zwart-Storm et al., 2008). [from OMIM]

Additional description

From MedlinePlus Genetics
Palmoplantar keratoderma with deafness is a disorder characterized by skin abnormalities and hearing loss. Affected individuals develop unusually thick skin on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet (palmoplantar keratoderma) beginning in childhood. Hearing loss ranges from mild to profound. It begins in early childhood and gets worse over time. Affected individuals have particular trouble hearing high-pitched sounds.

The signs and symptoms of this disorder may vary even within the same family, with some individuals developing only skin abnormalities and others developing only hearing loss. https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/palmoplantar-keratoderma-with-deafness
