Genes affected

USH2A (HGNC:12601): (usherin) 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.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The Ile1520Asn variant in USH2A has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss or in large population studies. Computational analyses (amino acid biochemical properties, conservation, AlignGVGD, PolyPhen2, SIFT) do not p rovide strong evidence for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, add itional data is needed to fully assess the clinical significance of this variant . -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.4559T>A (p.I1520N) alteration is located in exon 21 (coding exon 20) of the USH2A gene. This alteration results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 4559, causing the isoleucine (I) at amino acid position 1520 to be replaced by an asparagine (N). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
