Although the majority of our MP patients present a less severe phenotype and maintain the capacity to walk, two our patients (Cases 11 and 12) presented an intense motor and respiratory impairment, similar to those observed in the MD group. [scielo.br]

  This seems to suggest that the partial reduction of the b-DG in CMD patients is probably more related to the dystrophic pattern and other correlated factors than to the absence of merosin. [scielo.br]

In these mildest cases, no treatment is necessary; in symptomatic cases or in moderate-severe stenosis, the treatment of choice is valvuloplasty by catheterization. [mdpi.com]

Prognosis Usher I and II have congenital onset of hearing loss. As a result, hearing aids provide limited benefit. Because of the gradual progression of hearing loss in Usher Syndrome Type III hearing aids are often used successfully. [eyewiki.aao.org]

The prognosis is serious in the absence of treatment, which requires surgical intervention for total correction. [mdpi.com]
