Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: USH2A encodes for usherin, a basement membrane protein in the inner ear and retina. USH2A can cause retinitis pigmentosa (RP) with or without hearing loss. The aim of this study was to detect USH2A mutations in a Chinese cohort of 75 small RP families and 10 Usher syndrome families. METHODS: We performed a direct Sanger sequencing analysis of the USH2A gene to identify mutations for this cohort....
