Home Site TOC Site Search Outreach ... Go to See/Hear Archive from the Winter 98 issue Driving with Usher Syndrome compiled from conversation on the Deaf-Blind List by Kate Moss , TSBVI Deafblind Outreach For many parents of children with low vision, deciding whether or not to let their son or daughter get a driver's license or attempt to drive is a difficult decision. Even though some individuals may have substantial visual field impairments at an early age, they may still be able to pass the Department of Motor Vehicle's (DMV) eye exam since a visual field test which checks peripheral vision is not a part of that exam. Additionally, the driving portion of the test may not take place during the evening hours, so night blindness may also go undetected by the examiners. Students who go through driver education generally do have to undergo part of their driving during twilight conditions, which can create problems for the student with Usher's and some other eye conditions. As you will learn from this discussion, there does not seem to be a "right" answer. For parents of children with Usher Syndrome confronting this issue, I encourage you to: Discuss your child's visual functioning and prognosis with your ophthalmologist or low vision specialist especially as it relates to driving;

The parents came from urban and rural areas of Texas. Some of these parents had just recently learned of their child's condition, while others had known about it for years. Many had never met another family who was dealing with the issues of Usher Syndrome. All these families welcomed the opportunity to share information, questions, concerns, and resources with each other. All arrived accompanied by dreams and photos of their children. Each family went away with hopes to come together again. sheditor@tsbvi.edu Go to Top of Page Spring 1998 Table of Contents SendEMail to SEE / HEAR Please complete the comment form or send comments and suggestions to: Jim Allan ( Webmaster-Jim Allan Last Revision: May 7, 2004

Deafblindness Home About us What's new Support Us ... Usher Syndrome Genetics in Usher Syndrome Usher Syndrome is a genetic condition, caused by an autosomal recessive gene. Most people with Usher Syndrome are the only ones in their families with the condition although some families do have more than one affected child. In fact, in many families no one else had either a hearing loss or RP. So how can this possibly be inherited? We inherit much from our parents via genes. Each gene has a different function, one may determine what colour of hair we may have or another may determine whether we have curly or straight hair. Some traits need two or more genes working together. For example, your height is determined by several genes, as well as by diet and general health levels throughout childhood. Genetic Conditions What happens in a 'genetic condition' is that the gene that carries out a particular function is either missing or not working correctly. An abnormal gene sends the wrong message to the body, and the body part that the message is sent to is unable to function correctly. Some genes are called 'dominant' genes, and some are called 'recessive' genes. Dominant genes always prevail. Many conditions are the result of a recessive gene, cystic fibroses is one of the most common.

Thursday Jun 3 Usher syndrome Usher syndrome is a genetic disorder characterised by partial or total hearing loss from birth, and a gradual vision loss caused by retinitis pigmentosa (RP). The name retinitis pigmentosa refers to the deposits of black pigment found in the retina of people with this condition. This is a form of eye disease that results in the gradual loss of vision over time due to deterioration of the retina. At first, the person becomes night blind, as the eyes can no longer see in dim light. Over time, the field of vision diminishes until the person has only a 'tunnel' of central vision. Some people with Usher syndrome also experience problems with their balance. Usher syndrome is categorised into three broad groups according to the type and severity of symptoms. Type 1 and Type 2 account for around 10 per cent of children who are born deaf. There is no cure. Services aim to help the person prepare for and cope with this dual loss. Symptoms The symptoms of Usher syndrome depend on the type, but generally include:

Usher Syndrome From a pamphlet by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders What Is Usher Syndrome? Usher syndrome (US) is the most common condition that involves both hearing and vision problems. A syndrome is a disease or disorder that has more than one feature or symptom. The major symptoms of US are hearing impairment and an eye disorder called retinitis pigmentosa, in which vision worsens over time. Some people with US also have balance problems. There are three different types of US. Although it was first described by Albrecht Von Graefe in 1858, US was named for Charles Usher, a British eye doctor, who believed that this condition was inherited or passed from parents to their children. Who Is Affected by Usher Syndrome? More than half of the estimated 16,000 deaf-blind people in the United States are believed. to have US. What Causes Usher Syndrome? What Are the Types of Usher Syndrome? The three types of US are called US type 1 (US 1), US type 2 (US2), and US type 3 (US3). US 1 and US2 are the most common types of US. Together, US 1 and US2 account for approximately 10 percent of all cases of children who are born deaf. What Are the Characteristics of the Three Types of Usher Syndrome?

RP is a group of inherited diseases that cause night-blindness and peripheral (side) vision loss through the progressive degeneration of the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye that is crucial for vision.

How common is Usher syndrome? How is Usher syndrome inherited? Three types of Usher syndrome ... The naming of Usher syndrome What is Usher syndrome? Usher syndrome is a genetic disorder that is characterized by hearing impairment as well as an eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa in which vision degenerates (gets worse) over time. Some people with Usher syndrome also have balance problems. How common is Usher syndrome? Usher syndrome is the most common condition (aside from aging) that affects both hearing and vision. More than half of all deaf-blind people in developed countries (such as the US, Canada, and France) have Usher syndrome. How is Usher syndrome inherited? The syndrome is transmitted (passed along) in families by autosomal recessive inheritance, which requires the presence of two copies of the Usher gene for the disorder to be manifest. Each parent of a boy or girl with Usher syndrome is a "carrier" with one standard and one mutated Usher gene but no sign of the syndrome. A child with the syndrome has it because he or she received two mutated Usher genes , one from each of the carrier parents.

About Services Awareness The Link ... Contact Us Brief information for parents on vision and hearing impairment and Usher Syndrome Victorian-based services. DOES YOUR CHILD HAVE? This information is designed to alert parents to changes in their children's hearing and vision. It provides details on the relevant organisations to contact for further information. This information has been developed by the Victorian Usher Syndrome Project Committee (1998) VISION IMPAIRMENT Poor vision is not always apparent with children. Children themselves are not always aware that they see worse than other people - the child believes that everyone sees the way he/she does. Children may suffer from one of the frequent vision impairments such as short-sightedness, cross-eye astigmatism, etc. In most cases, these vision impairments can be easily corrected. Symptoms in children alerting you to vision impairment include: * Writing above or below lines * Often blinking or rubbing eyes * Wrinkling or squinting eyes to look at something closely * Hold small objects close to examine them * Sitting close to TV * Difficulty estimating distances * Fear of stumbling * Avoiding games which require quick visual reaction (e.g. skipping, ball games)

Usher is a hereditary condition that results in the progressive loss of eyesight as well as deafness. It is also a condition that is often not diagnosed until later in life, which can result in major psychological impact on the individual. I once knew someone whose Usher Syndrome was not discovered until college, but the student's parents had known about it for years and did not tell their child for fear that the child might not strive to achieve as much if the child had known.
