The risk of having a child affected by isolated congenital deafness (or deafmutism) is high, if the two parents are affected, if only one parent is affected, but belonging to an affected family, and if the couple has already an affected child.

Résumé

RÉSUMÉ

Le risque d'avoir un enfant atteint de surdité congénitale isolée (ou de surdi-mutité) est élevé, si les deux parents sont atteints, si un seul parent est atteint, mais constitue un cas familial, et si le couple a déjà un enfant atteint.

Riassunto

RIASSUNTO

Il rischio di avere un figlio affetto da sordità congenita isolata (o sordomutismo) è elevato se i due genitori sono affetti, oppure se è affetto un solo genitore che però proviene da una famiglia affetta, o infine se la coppia ha già avuto un figlio affetto.

Zusammenfassung

ZUSAMMENFASSUNG

Die Wahrscheinlichkeit eines Kindes mit angeborener isolierter Taubheit (oder Taubstummheit) ist sehr gross, wenn beide Eltern daran leiden, wenn nur ein Elternteil daran leidet, in dessen Familie das Leiden jedoch vorgekommen ist oder wenn die Eltern bereits ein taubes oder taubstummes Kind hatten.
