Abstract excerpt
We report on a rare case of an exon 16 mutation of the MYH9 gene in a 23-year-old woman.

This disorder led to sensorineural hearing loss, macrothrombocytopenia, and proteinuria. MYH9 gene mutation can lead to diverse organ manifestation like pre-senile cataract or renal failure which are...
