Usher syndrome type 2A (USH2A) gene mutations have been identified as the most frequent genetic causes of hereditary deafness in Usher syndrome, and an effective treatment has yet to be established. The encoded protein, Usherin, is essential for the ankle link associated with extracellular connections between the stereocilia of inner ear hair cells. We report the generation of a patient-derived USH2A iPSC line...
