A 4.6 Mb Inversion Leading to PCDH15-LINC00844 and BICC1-PCDH15 Fusion Transcripts as a New Pathogenic Mechanism Implicated in Usher Syndrome Type 1

A 4.6 Mb Inversion Leading to PCDH15-LINC00844 and BICC1-PCDH15 Fusion Transcripts as a New Pathogenic Mechanism Implicated in Usher Syndrome Type 1

Usher type 1 syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder involving congenital severe-to-profound hearing loss, development of vision impairment in the first decade, and severe balance difficulties. The PCDH15 gene, one of the five genes implicated in this disease, is involved in 8–20% of cases....
