Go Back to The Archives Page. This information is from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) Hereditary Hearing Impairment Resource Registry (HHIRR). About 3-6 percent of all deaf children and perhaps an equal number of hard-of-hearing children have Usher syndrome (US), which itself is more than one genetic condition. On the basis of clinical findings, at least three types exist . Gene localization studies show that one clinical type may be due to several different genes located on different chromosomes. The most important clinical distinctions are based on the differences in hearing and balance. The retinitis pigmentosa (RP) may look the same even to an experienced eye doctor except that the symptoms can begin earlier in Type I. Usher syndrome is one of several conditions in which both hearing loss and retinitis pigmentosa are present. In this article, the symptoms of RP and the various forms of Usher syndrome will be discussed. Suggestions will be given on where to go for further diagnosis and information.

(requires Acrobat Reader Ion Channel Malfunctions in Form of Retinitis Pigmentosa "The more we know about the fundamental processes that underlie these diseases, the closer we are to being able to intervene in an intelligent way," said HHMI investigator William N. Zagotta. HHMI researchers have identified a molecular malfunction that causes a form of retinitis pigmentosa (RP), an inherited disease that causes progressive loss of vision and ultimately blindness. Mutations in any one of 19 genes can cause RP. Although the researchers studied a specific mutation that alters only one of the 19 genes, their studies may offer a broad explanation for how the rod photoreceptor cells in the eye slowly die, which can ultimately lead to blindness. The studies were reported in an article published in the April 11, 2002, issue of the journal
