Score is the Open Targets composite evidence score (0-1). Higher = stronger gene-disease association.

Protein function (UniProt)

Myosin-1

Required for normal hearing. It plays a role in cochlear amplification of auditory stimuli, likely through the positive regulation of prestin (SLC26A5) activity and outer hair cell (OHC) electromotility
