Name

USH3B Gene

Usher syndrome 3B

USHBP1 Gene

Usher syndrome 1C binding protein 1

Enables PDZ domain binding activity. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

USH2A Gene

Usher syndrome 2A (autosomal recessive, mild)

This gene encodes a protein that contains laminin EGF motifs, a pentaxin domain, and many fibronectin type III motifs. The protein is found in the basement membrane, and may be important in development and homeostasis of the inner ear and retina. Mutations within this gene have been associated with Usher syndrome type IIa and retinitis pigmentosa. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

USH1K Gene

Usher syndrome 1K (autosomal recessive)

USH1H Gene

Usher syndrome 1H (autosomal recessive)

USH1C Gene

Usher syndrome 1C (autosomal recessive, severe)

This gene encodes a scaffold protein that functions in the assembly of Usher protein complexes. The protein contains PDZ domains, a coiled-coil region with a bipartite nuclear localization signal and a PEST degradation sequence. Defects in this gene are the cause of Usher syndrome type 1C and non-syndromic sensorineural deafness autosomal recessive type 18. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]

USH1G Gene

Usher syndrome 1G (autosomal recessive)

This gene encodes a protein that contains three ankyrin domains, a class I PDZ-binding motif and a sterile alpha motif. The encoded protein interacts with harmonin, which is associated with Usher syndrome type 1C. This protein plays a role in the development and maintenance of the auditory and visual systems and functions in the cohesion of hair bundles formed by inner ear sensory cells. Mutations in this gene are associated with Usher syndrome type 1G (USH1G). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]

USH1E Gene

Usher syndrome 1E (autosomal recessive, severe)
