AB  - SUMMARY: With the routine use of high-resolution heavily T2-weighted sequences to evaluate patients with hearing deficits, new, subtle phenotypes of cochlear malformations are being discovered and an increasing number of genotype-phenotype correlations are being found through a reverse phenotype approach, which can help guide geneticists. In this brief report, we present subtle malformations of the apical turn of the cochlea related to 3 genetic mutations, emphasizing the importance of a careful assessment of the cochlear apex.BORbranchio-oto-renal syndromeDEGCAGSDEvelopmental delay with Gastrointestinal, CArdiovascular, Genitourinary, and Skeletal abnormalitiesIACinternal auditory canalSNHLsensorineural hearing loss
