Notes

aka c.4338_4339delCT (p.Cys1447Glnfs) This mutation in the USH2A gene is the major cause of Usher syndrome type 2a in Canadians of French origin (and is therefore considered a founder mutation in that population). {{PMID|18665195|OA=1]] Genomic structure and identification of novel mutations in usherin, the gene responsible for Usher syndrome type IIa. An USH2A founder mutation is the major cause of Usher syndrome type 2 in Canadians of French origin and confirms common roots of Quebecois and Acadians.
