Albinism–deafness syndrome is a condition characterized by congenital neural deafness and a severe or extreme piebald-like phenotype with extensive areas of hypopigmentation.^[1]

A locus at Xq26.3-q27.I has been suggested.^[2]

It has been suggested that it is a form of Waardenburg syndrome type II.^[3]
