Maternally Inherited Diabetes and Deafness

Maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA. Inherited exclusively through the mother, MIDD typically presents with diabetes and hearing impairment. Other symptoms may include muscle weakness and heart issues. Diagnosis involves genetic testing, and management includes lifestyle changes and regular monitoring.
