Usher syndrome

Usher syndrome is responsible for the majority of deaf-blindness.

Usher syndrome I may be indicated if the child is profoundly deaf from birth and especially slow in walking.

New research on the genetics of Usher syndrome.

A mutation in any one of these genes is likely to result in Usher syndrome.

Jonard has Usher syndrome; he is both deaf and visually impaired.

The progressive blindness of Usher syndrome results from retinitis pigmentosa.

Researchers have identified three types of Usher syndrome and debated the existence of a fourth type.

Usher syndrome is inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic trait.

Although centered on Great Britain, it offers resources to all people with Usher syndrome.

The possible fourth type of Usher syndrome may be inherited as an X-linked genetic trait.

There are three types of Usher syndrome:

Spencer Tracy's son John was a well-known person with Usher syndrome who lived a full life.

The age at which the disorder appears along with the severity of symptoms distinguishes the different types of Usher syndrome.

Mutations in this gene are associated with Usher syndrome 2 and familial febrile seizures.

The simplest approach to diagnosing Usher syndrome is to test for the characteristic chromosomal mutations.

RP combined with deafness (congenital or progressive) is called Usher syndrome.

Morten was born deaf but with good vision, which has gradually deteriorated due to Usher Syndrome.

Most have Usher syndrome, a congenital disorder in which the individual is born deaf and there is loss of sight by adolescence.

Some preliminary studies have suggested that as many as 10% of congenitally deaf children may have Usher syndrome.

Christine "Coco" Roschaert is a well-known person with Usher syndrome.

It was originally identified in a screen to identify the genes responsible for Usher syndrome type 3 and presumed to be an unprocessed pseudogene.

Since Usher syndrome is incurable at present, it is helpful to diagnose children well before they develop the characteristic night blindness.

Mutations in protocadherin genes and their expression may play a role in schizophrenia, Usher Syndrome.

American researchers partially cure Usher syndrome in mice, a severe form of congenital deafness, using a precisely targeted gene therapy.
