Tietz syndrome is a condition characterized by deafness and albinism. (Tietz syndrome is not to be confused with Tietze’s syndrome, which is a benign inflammation of the cartilages connecting to the sternum or ribs.)
Tietz syndrome was characterized in 1963.[1]
It is due to a mutation in chromosome 3, in the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor.[2][3]
