Usher syndrome type 1E

Usher syndrome type 1E is a form of Usher syndrome type I that has been identified with a unique location on chromosome band 21q21. This condition is part of a group of genetic disorders that affect hearing and vision, and it has been defined by a novel locus for USH1 known as USH1E. People with this condition inherit it in an autosomal recessive manner, which means that a child must receive a copy of the mutated gene from both parents. The condition is recognized by its specific genetic marker and is categorized as a rare disease.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

Usher syndrome type 1E is caused by mutations in the USH1E gene. The disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that two copies of the altered gene are required for the condition to manifest. The mutation is mapped to chromosome band 21q21.

Information about treatment is currently limited for this condition.

Information about prognosis is currently limited for this condition.

Information about current research is currently limited for this condition. Research on Usher syndrome and its genetic causes continues, and new findings may further explain the underlying mechanisms of this type in the future.
