Defects in LHFPL5 are a cause of deafness autosomal recessive type 67 (DFNB67) [MIM:610265]. DFNB67 is a form of sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural deafness results from damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information.
