Maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD) is not only a disorder of the pancreas and ears but a multisystem mitochondrial disorder syndrome. Hypogonadism, however, has not been reported as a phenotypic feature of MIDD. We report a single case of a patient with MIDD which manifested clinically at 41 years old. In addition to diabetes and deafness, he manifested with seizures, ataxia, myopathy, and hypogonadism. We used established methods for the routine workup of this patient. MIDD is indeed a multisystem condition. A previously undescribed phenotypic feature of MIDD may be hypogonadism.
母系遗传的糖尿病和耳聋(MIDD)不仅是胰腺和耳朵的疾病,而且是一种多系统线粒体疾病综合征。然而,性腺功能减退尚未被报道为MIDD的表型特征。我们报告一例41岁临床确诊的MIDD患者。除糖尿病和耳聋外,他还表现为癫痫发作、共济失调、肌病和性腺功能减退。我们采用既定方法对该患者进行常规检查。MIDD确实是一种多系统疾病。性腺功能减退可能是MIDD一种先前未被描述的表型特征。
