Genetic heterogeneity of Usher syndrome.
Progress towards the understanding of the molecular basis of US has been substantial. Nine different loci have been found to be responsible and two have had the specific gene identified. This information is expected to lay the foundation for the eventual development of new treatment strategies. Usher syndrome is the combined loss of both of humans most important two senses and a better understa...
متن کاملUSHER\'S SYNDROME REVISITED
Usher's syndrome is a genetically inherited autosomal recessive disorder resulting in the double handicap of deafness and progressive blindness, known as retinitis pigmentosa.

متن کاملGenetic heterogeneity of Usher syndrome: analysis of 151 families with Usher type I.
Usher syndrome type I is an autosomal recessive disorder marked by hearing loss, vestibular areflexia, and retinitis pigmentosa. Six Usher I genetic subtypes at loci USH1A-USH1F have been reported. The MYO7A gene is responsible for USH1B, the most common subtype. In our analysis, 151 families with Usher I were screened by linkage and mutation analysis. MYO7A mutations were identified in 64 fami...
