Arina Puzriakova (Genomics England Curator)

PMID: 32820032 (2020) - Animal mouse model with a hemizygous variant (p.I23fs49X) in the Timm8a1 gene, recapitulated features of the deafness-dystonia-optic neuronopathy (DDON) syndrome, associated with this gene. Mutant male mice exhibited hearing impairment, cognitive decline, and some age-dependant alteration in motor coordination and balance. Abnormal mitochondrial morphology was detected in several brain regions of mutant mice using electron microscopy.

Deafness-dystonia syndrome. Deafness precedes the dystonia. Dystonia can occur from first to sixth decades, but peak in 2nd and 3rd decades. As dystonia is rarely childhood onset likely more appropriate in adult movement disorders panel
