Hum Mutat. 1999 Aug 19;14(2):181. doi: 10.1002/(SICI)1098-1004(1999)14:2<181::AID-HUMU11>3.0.CO;2-3.

Abstract

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.
