Type I Usher Syndrome in the Acadian Population of Louisiana Sevtap Savas, Ph.D. Bronya J. B. Keats, Ph.D. Clinical Characteristics of the Usher (USH) Syndromes. USH2 and USH3 patients display similar but milder symptoms than USH1 patients. Hearing loss in USH2 is moderate to severe, and hearing aids are useful for USH2 patients. RP starts in the third or fourth decade of life, and vestibular function is normal. In USH3, the hearing loss is progressive, the age of onset of RP is variable, and some patients have balance problems. Acadian patients with USH were first reported by Dr. H. W. Kloepfer and his colleagues in 1966. USH1 has a higher frequency in this population than in the general U.S. population. In addition, a few Acadians with USH2 have been reported.

Usher Syndrome What is Usher syndrome? Usher syndrome is an inherited disorder that involves both a hearing impairment and a vision impairment called retinitis pigmentosa. Some people also have varying problems with balance. Usher syndrome is passed from parents to their children genetically. What are the different types of Usher syndrome? There are three types of Usher syndrome: US type 1 (US1) - characteristics include: profoundly deaf from birth do not usually benefit from hearing aids severe balance problems vision problems begin by age 10 blindness eventually occurs US type 2 (US2) - characteristics include: moderate to severe hearing problems usually benefit from hearing aids use speech to communicate normal balance retinitis pigmentosa begins in teenage years US type 3 (US3) - characteristics include: born with normal hearing hearing problems develop in teenage years near normal balance deafness by late adulthood retinitis pigmentosa begins around puberty blindness by mid-adulthood How is Usher syndrome diagnosed? Special tests assist in the diagnosis of Usher syndrome, including:

Things to know about Usher Questions and Answers Family Member with Usher Having Usher as a Student Teacher with an Usher Student Resources National State Please help me in supporting The Foundation Fighting Blindness Usher syndrome is an inherited condition, which results in hearing loss and a progressive loss of vision from Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP). The hearing loss is thought to be congenital, and ranges from moderate to profound. RP can occur without hearing loss. The condition is named after a British ophthalmologist, C.H. Usher, who in a paper in 1914 described several cases in which the link between congenital deafness and RP was stressed. However, as far back as 1860 workers such as von Graef and Liebreich in Berlin were aware of the link between congenital deafness and RP, especially in consanguineous marriages. Retinitis Pigmentosa describes not one disease but a group of hereditary diseases of the retina. The retina is the light sensitive tissue inside the eye in which the first stages of 'seeing' take place. With RP the retina slowly degenerates and loses its ability to transmit pictures to the brain. In advanced stages characteristic clumps of pigment appear on the retina and can be seen through an ophthalmoscope.

News from The Foundation Fighting Blindness (FFB) in the United States Thanks to Tom Hoglund, Science Information Manager, FFB Gene Found for Usher Syndrome Type Iia In the June 1998 issue of Science , a research group led by Dr. William Kimberling of Boys Town National Research Hospital in Omaha, Nebraska reports on the discovery of mutations in a gene causing Usher syndrome type IIa. Usher syndrome is an autosomal recessive disease that causes moderate to severe hearing loss and retinal degeneration from retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Explaining the importance of this genetic discovery, Dr. Kimberling stated, ‘There are at least nine genes that each cause different forms of Usher syndrome. Usher syndrome type IIa is the most common form of the disease accounting for over half of all cases. With this gene, we can now study its function in vision and hearing. We can also learn how mutations in the gene cause deaf-blindness. With a better understanding of the disease process, we can develop effective treatments. This discovery will help a lot of people with Usher syndrome.' Dr. Anand Swaroop, a leading geneticist in retinal degenerative diseases from the University of Michigan, also received funding from The FFB to collaborate on this study.

People with this type appear to have normal hearing and sight at birth and in childhood. RP is usually diagnosed between the ages of 20 to 30 years, followed by a degeneration of hearing in adult life. Loss of sight and hearing affect communication, mobility and every day living.

USHER SYNDROME Symptoms and Cause This genetic condition causes hearing loss from birth and progressive loss of sight due to retinitis pigmentosa (RP), which causes degeneration of the retina. Often the first symptom of RP is night blindness, followed by narrowing side vision leading to what is called "tunnel vision". Two types of Usher syndrome In Usher Syndrome Type 1, there is severe damage to the cochlea from a very early age and therefore the child has severe deafness from birth. The child usually develops problems with night vision and tunnel vision due to RP in the first 10 years of life. People with this condition usually communicate by signing. This clearly can become more difficult as vision deteriorates. In Usher Syndrome Type 2, the hearing loss is more variable, ranging from mild to severe. Symptoms of RP usually develop from late adolescence to late twenties. Communication is enhanced in these people with hearing aids and lip reading.

General Information What is Usher Syndrome? Usher syndrome is a genetic disorder involving the loss of both sight and hearing. The hearing loss generally occurs at birth or shortly thereafter; while a progressive loss of vision due to retinitis pigmentosa (a degeneration of the retina of the eyes) begins later in life, usually before adolescence. At first, the vision loss may be gradual and barely noticeable, but in almost all cases the result is legal blindness. There are currently three identifiable types of Usher syndrome: Usher syndrome Type I, Usher syndrome Type II and Usher syndrome Type III. An individual with Usher Type I has a profound hearing loss at birth, experiences balance problems due to vestibular loss, and experiences vision loss usually in early childhood. In Usher Type II, an individual has a sloping audiogram going from moderate loss in the low frequencies to profound impairments in the higher frequencies, has no balance problems, and usually begins to lose his/her vision in the midteens. A person with Usher syndrome Type III starts with normal or near-normal hearing that progressively deteriorates, might have some balance disturbance, and experiences vision loss by midteens. Usher syndrome occurs in approximately 1 in 25,000 and the incidence is estimated to possibly be as high as 1 in 10,000 individuals. This range is due to the difficulty in identifying persons with Usher syndrome, particularly persons with Type II Usher. Of persons with Usher syndrome, approximately 90% will have Type I Usher, with Type II accounting for almost 10%. At this time, Usher syndrome Type III appears to occur primarily in Finland.
