What condition is associated with MYO7A p.Gln1896= (c.5688G>A)?

MYO7A p.Gln1896= (c.5688G>A) is associated with Usher syndrome type 1, autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 2, autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss 11 (ClinVar).

How common is MYO7A p.Gln1896= (c.5688G>A) in the general population?

MYO7A p.Gln1896= (c.5688G>A) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.028%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Usher syndrome inherited?

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

Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
