The MYO7A gene is known to cause autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive non‐syndromic HL (DFNA11/DFNB2) as well as Usher syndrome (USH1B), [19, 20] which is characterized by congenital, bilateral, profound sensorineural HL, vestibular areflexia, and adolescent-onset retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Here, MYO7A is linked to retinitis pigmentosa 1.
