Abstract excerpt
Biallelic variants in USH2A are associated with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and Type 2 Usher Syndrome (USH2), leading to impaired vision and, additionally, hearing loss in the latter. Although the introduction of next-generation sequencing into clinical diagnostics has led to a significant uplift in molecular diagnostic rates, many patients remain molecularly unsolved. It is thought that non-coding variants or...
