Abstract: Fascin-2 gene, an actin cross-linking protein found in membrane ruffles, microspikes, and stress fibers, controls the parallel, sequential, and tight alignment and aggregation of actin filaments. Recent researches have found that Fascin-2 gene is associated with the cilia of plasma membrane, whose basic composition is actin; Fascin-2 gene plays an important role in the formation of photoreceptor disk and stereocilia; the mutation of Fascin-2 gene may cause progressive retinitis pigmentosa and hearing loss. This paper will elucidate the latest research progress on Fascin-2 gene.

Key words: Hearing loss, Retinitis pigmentosa, Fascin-2
