Abstract

The successful search for the Usher genes is complicated by the factors of diagnosis and genetic heterogeneity. At least four different genetic types of Usher syndrome are believed to exist. Two types have been localized: one type II to human chromosome lq and type I to chromosome 14. As more Usher genes are localized, identified, and then sequenced, a better understanding of the nature of the clinical variation of Usher syndrome will be gained.
