Abstract
An audiometric profile of some of the members of an Indian family with Alport's syndrome has been presented. The findings of audiometric and vestibular testing suggest an end-organ lesion. It has been suggested that an ingerent weakness of ectodermal derivatives in this syndrome, which is mediated through an inborn error of metabolism, accounts for the end-organ hearing loss, cataract and kidney involvement in such cases.Keywords
