Presentation
The authors present a case with a yet unreported association between Duane retraction syndrome type 1 and Usher syndrome type 2. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It frequently presents with unexplained, often intrafamilial, variability of the visual phenotype. [jci.org]
The present project has resulted in some new knowledge on cognitive performance in individuals with Usher syndrome type 1 and type 2. [diva-portal.org]

[…] with Usher syndrome can be found working as: author, researcher, professor, chef/owner of restaurant, lawyer, certified public accountant, information technology specialist, computer programmer, public health manager, counselor, minister, librarian, veterinarian [wsdsonline.org]

Anosmia
Alport syndrome manifests with hearing loss, progressive nephritis, and macular flecks that may be misinterpreted as RP, while Refsum disease presents with anosmia, deafness, and true RP (Hamel, 2006). [asha.org]
Treatment
Options may include: surgical treatment – for example, an operation to correct a heart defect medication to manage epileptic seizures orthopaedic treatment for scoliosis and joint laxity restorative and cosmetic dental treatment regular eye examinations [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]
Treatment options Currently, there are only insufficient and experimental treatment options available for the degeneration of the retina. They all aim at delaying the complete destruction of the photoreceptors. [hear.com]
Sensitive, objective outcome measures of retinal degeneration will greatly facilitate development of treatments for Usher syndrome patients. [clinicaltrials.ucsf.edu]

Treatment How is Usher syndrome treated? Presently, there is no cure for Usher syndrome. Treatment involves managing hearing, vision, and balance problems. [nei.nih.gov]
Prognosis
(see diagram below) Life Expectancy For all types of Usher syndrome, the overall prognosis is good, as is general health. [ushersyndrome.wordpress.com]
This information would be useful in determining the prognosis for affected patients and would assist in genetic counseling and in assigning phenotypes for molecular study. [jamanetwork.com]
What is the prognosis for a person with Usher Syndrome Type 1F? Usher syndrome type 1F causes severe hearing and vision impairment, however it does not affect one’s lifespan or intelligence. [jscreen.org]
[…] third decade) Visual field loss Appears mid-childhood Less than 20 degrees probable by mid 20's Slower, but legal blindness probable at some point Central visual acuity Progressive loss with early development of cataracts Less severe but great variation Prognosis [tsbvi.edu]
Again, the prognosis of eventual blindness comes as a shock. [asha.org]
Etiology
Our understanding of, and ability to test for, the underlying etiology of syndromes has been greatly enhanced by the study of the human genome and proteins necessary for normal development. [asha.org]
Since they thought the etiology of the hearing loss was Connexin 26, no one ever mentioned Usher or looked into it. At age 12, the female twin starting having difficulty with her night vision. She wore corrective lenses as well. [audiologyonline.com]
There can be several etiologies behind deafblindness, but Usher syndrome is one of the most common causes ( Pennings, 2004 ; Sadeghi, 2005 ). [journal.frontiersin.org]
Epidemiology
Chapters on epidemiology, embryology, non-syndromic hearing loss, and syndromic forms of hearing loss have all been updated with particular attention to the vast amount of new information on molecular mechanisms, and chapters on clinical and molecular [books.google.es]

This requires that the audiologist be familiar with the genetic epidemiology of hearing loss and resources for referral and information. [asha.org]

Prevention
Project Rare Partners is thoroughly monitoring the scientific landscape of Usher Syndrome and specifically the approaches that are being undertaken to prevent/cure vision loss. [rarepartners.org]
However, early diagnosis is important in order to attenuate the far-reaching consequences of this condition and to take preventative measures. [hear.com]
In this study, we explored the potential of antisense oligonucleotides (AONs) to prevent aberrant splicing of USH2A pre-mRNA as a consequence of the c.7595-2144A G mutation. [repository.ubn.ru.nl]
Preventing Hypoglycemia During Nighttime and in Routine Daily Life: We highly encourage you to read the hypoglycemia chapter in the RSS/SGA Guidebook for comprehensive prevention and treatment information. [magicfoundation.org]
Genetic studies of RP are a significant factor in finding a cure or prevention for this disease. [rawa.com.au]
