Hagemoser–Weinstein–Bresnick syndrome is an
autosomal dominant genetic disorder first described by Hagemoser et al. in 1989. It is characterized by
optic atrophy followed shortly by
loss of hearing and
peripheral neuropathy. Onset of the disease occurred in early childhood, as opposed to the later onset of similar diseases. Optic atrophy occurs in the first year and the following symptoms show up before thirteen years. A possible autosomal recessive form of this disease was described in 1970 by Iwashita et al.
