MYO15A (Unconventional myosin-XV) variants and mutations

MYO15A (also known as Unconventional myosin-XV) is a human protein-coding gene encoding an unconventional myosin-XV protein. An actin-based motor protein needed to build and maintain the stereocilia of inner-ear hair cells. Variants can cause severe nonsyndromic hearing loss. This analysis covers 5,475 MYO15A variants and mutations. Of these, 98% have computational variant effect predictions. Disease context includes hearing loss, autosomal recessive, deafness, and nonsyndromic genetic hearing loss. Example MYO15A variants include M1?, A2G, and A2T.
