Albinism–deafness syndrome is a condition characterized by congenital neural deafness and a severe or extreme piebald-like phenotype with extensive areas of hypopigmentation.[1]
A locus at Xq26.3-q27.I has been suggested.[2]
It has been suggested that it is a form of Waardenburg syndrome type II.[3]
