Is CDH23 p.Glu72Ter (c.214G>T) pathogenic?

CDH23 p.Glu72Ter (c.214G>T) is classified Pathogenic in CDH23 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2025-12-01). Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with Usher syndrome type 1.

What condition is associated with CDH23 p.Glu72Ter (c.214G>T)?

CDH23 p.Glu72Ter (c.214G>T) is associated with Usher syndrome type 1 (ClinVar).

How common is CDH23 p.Glu72Ter (c.214G>T) in the general population?

CDH23 p.Glu72Ter (c.214G>T) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is Usher syndrome inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.
