Identification of three novel mutations in the MYO7A gene

1999

Three new mutations in the myosin VIIA gene involved in the pathogenesis of Usher syndrome type Ib are reported. These mutations are K1080X in exon 25, E1170K in exon 28, and Y1719C in exon 37. It is presumed that these mutations are involved in the Usher syndrome Ib phenotype. Hum Mutat 14:181, 1999. Copyright 1999 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Detection of a novel Cys628STOP mutation of the myosin VIIA gene in Usher syndrome type Ib.

1998

A Spanish family with three Usher I syndrome-affected members was linked to markers located on chromosome 11q. A search for mutations on the myosin VIIA gene revealed a novel mutation (Cys628STOP) on exon 16 segregating with the disorder in a homozygous state. This nonsense mutation could be responsible for the disease since it leads to a truncated protein that presumably has no function.
