Deafblindness in French Canadians from Quebec: a predominant founder mutation in the USH1C gene provides the first genetic link with the Acadian populationInga Ebermann
Institute of Human Genetics, University Hospital of Cologne, Cologne, Germany
Genome Biol 8:R47. 2007..We hypothesized that founder mutations in USH1 genes exist in this population...

Institute of Human Genetics, University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany
Eur J Hum Genet 17:80-4. 2009....
Protocadherin-21 (PCDH21), a candidate gene for human retinal dystrophiesHanno Bolz
Institute of Human Genetics, University Hospital of Cologne, Cologne, Germany
Mol Vis 11:929-33. 2005..Therefore we searched for a human retinal phenotype associated with mutations in the orthologous human gene, PCDH21...
Truncating mutation of the DFNB59 gene causes cochlear hearing impairment and central vestibular dysfunctionInga Ebermann
Institute of Human Genetics, University Hospital of Cologne, Cologne, Germany
Hum Mutat 28:571-7. 2007..Moreover, all patients in our family with homozygosity for the DFNB59 mutation display central vestibular dysfunction...
PDZD7 is a modifier of retinal disease and a contributor to digenic Usher syndromeInga Ebermann
Institute of Human Genetics, University Hospital of Cologne, Cologne, Germany
J Clin Invest 120:1812-23. 2010..Our data challenge the view of Usher syndrome as a traditional Mendelian disorder and support the reclassification of Usher syndrome as an oligogenic disease...
Mutations in KIF7 link Joubert syndrome with Sonic Hedgehog signaling and microtubule dynamicsClaudia Dafinger
Institute of Human Genetics, Department of Medicine and Centre for Molecular Medicine, University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany
J Clin Invest 121:2662-7. 2011..Thus, we suggest that modified microtubule stability and growth direction caused by loss of KIF7 function may be an underlying disease mechanism contributing to JBTS...
A novel gene for Usher syndrome type 2: mutations in the long isoform of whirlin are associated with retinitis pigmentosa and sensorineural hearing lossInga Ebermann
Institute of Human Genetics, University Hospital of Cologne, Kerpener Str 34, 50931 Cologne, Germany
Hum Genet 121:203-11. 2007..We describe a novel genetic subtype for Usher syndrome, which we named USH2D and which is caused by mutations in whirlin. Moreover, this is the first case of USH2 that is allelic to non-syndromic deafness...
Two truncating USH3A mutations, including one novel, in a German family with Usher syndromeInga Ebermann
Institute of Human Genetics, University Hospital of Cologne, Cologne, Germany
Mol Vis 13:1539-47. 2007..To identify the genetic defect in a German family with Usher syndrome (USH) and linkage to the USH3A locus...
Usher syndrome type 1 due to missense mutations on both CDH23 alleles: investigation of mRNA splicingElvir Becirovic
Institute of Human Genetics, University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany
Hum Mutat 29:452. 2008..A484P, p.T1209A and p.R1507Q. These three latter CDH23 missense mutations could interfere with functions of both, the auditory and the visual system. Alternatively, they could represent rare non-pathogenic polymorphisms...
