Usher syndrome 1B (USH1B) is a devastating genetic disorder with congenital deafness, loss of balance, and blindness caused by mutations in the myosin-VIIa (MYO7A) gene, for which there is currently no cure. We developed a gene therapy approach addressing the vestibulo-cochlear deficits of USH1B using a third-generation, high-capacity lentiviral vector system capable of delivering the large 6,645-bp MYO7A cDNA....
