Deafness with labyrinthine aplasia, microtia, and microdontia (LAMM) is a new, rare, autosomal recessive deafness syndrome. This syndrome has been linked to mutations in the FGF3 gene. Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signals are required for expression of otic placode genes and for otic placode induction and vesicle formation.
