Usher syndrome type 1K

Usher syndrome type 1K is a form of Usher syndrome, which is a group of conditions that affect both hearing and vision. This condition has a material basis in a variation in the chromosome region 10p11.21-q21.1, meaning that a change in this specific area of the genetic material is linked to the disorder. People with this condition may have features typical of Usher syndrome type 1, although detailed information on how these features specifically present in type 1K is limited. It is part of a broader spectrum of genetic conditions that impact sensory functions, and understanding the exact nature of these changes helps scientists to explore how the condition affects individuals.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

Usher syndrome type 1K is linked to a change in a specific region on the chromosomes (10p11.21-q21.1), and it involves variations in the USH1K gene. This genetic mutation is believed to be the material basis for the condition, which aligns it with other genetic forms of Usher syndrome.

Information about treatment is currently limited for this condition.

Information about prognosis is currently limited for this condition.

Information about current research and future directions is currently limited for this condition.
