Abstract

PCDH15, encoding protocadherin 15, is mutated in Usher syndrome type 1F (USH1F) patients. Not only point mutations, but also large deletions have been detected within this gene. However, the detection and characterization of gross deletions in the USH1F locus have been difficult. The purpose of the present work was to identify large genomic rearrangements of PCDH15 in a cohort of patients and to accurately identify the location of the junction breakpoints of the detected rearrangements.
