Gene: WHRN
Alternate names for this Gene: CIP98|DFNB31|PDZD7B|USH2D|WI
Gene Summary: This gene is thought to function in the organization and stabilization of sterocilia elongation and actin cystoskeletal assembly, based on studies of the related mouse gene. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal recessive non-syndromic deafness and Usher Syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 9
Location in Chromosome : 9q32
