[CIS-PAGID] ADA deficiency hearing loss

[Richard Wasserman]

I care for a 13 year old with ADA deficiency doing well on Adagen who has
progressive hearing loss. I know that this is a recognized association. He
is getting a cochlear implant and the otologist has made a diagnosis of otic
neuropathy. Is the pathogenesis of hearing loss in ADA deficiency known? Is
there any suggestion of autoimmunity as a cause?
Thanks,
Richard Wasserman
