Extractions: Retina International Seeking a cure for Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), Macular Degeneration, Usher Syndrome and allied retinal distrophies Usher syndrome is an inherited condition which results in hearing loss and a progressive loss of vision from Retinitis pigmentosa (RP). The hearing loss is thought to be congenital, and ranges from moderate to profound. RP can occur without hearing loss. The condition is named after a British ophthalmologist, C.H. Usher, who in a paper in 1914 described several cases in which the link between congenital deafness and RP was stressed. However, as far back as 1860 workers such as von Graef and Liebreich in Berlin were aware of the link between congenital deafness and RP, especially in consanguinous marriages. This term describes not one disease but a group of hereditary diseases of the retina. The retina is the light sensitive tissue inside the eye in which the first stages of 'seeing' take place. With RP the retina slowly degenerates and loses its ability to transmit pictures to the brain. In advanced stages characteristic clumps of pigment appear on the retina and can be seen through an ophthalmoscope. Symptoms

Extractions: Methods : Linkage and haplotype analysis of Ush1C in the French-Acadian families from southwestern Louisiana was carried out using additional markers known to map to the USH1C interval. Markers localized to 11p were also mapped on the J1 somatic cell hybrid panel. This analysis also helped to localize precisely the USH1C interval. Results : New flanking markers for USH1C have been identified, localizing the USH1C gene to a 1 cM interval between markers D11S1397 and D11S1888. Markers D11S1890 and D11S1888 were placed within the USH1C interval. Analysis of all the markers in the USH1C region flanked by D11S1397 and D11S1888 on the J1 somatic cell hybrid panel localized USH1C to the upper half of chromosome 11p14.

Usher Syndrome 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.

If you have it, how have you adjusted physically and emotionally - especially emotionally - to the loss of your sight in addition to the loss of your hearing?" If you are having difficulty seeing at night, and are hearing impaired, you may be experiencing the onset of Usher Syndrome. 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. TARP offers a very large-print explanation of Usher Syndrome.

The hearing loss is usually congenital and may be total or partial. Retinitis pigmentosa, a progressive deterioration of the retina which causes night blindness, tunnel vision and finally severely reduced central vision, may not occur until late childhood or early adulthood. In some forms poor balance is an associated problem. Diagnosis of Usher syndrome may be delayed until the visual problems have become significant because peripheral and night vision are not routinely tested in school children. There are three types of the Syndrome. Type I is characterised by profound congenital hearing loss, poor balance and retinitis pigmentosa before the age of 10. Type II presents moderate to severe hearing loss, normal balance and retinitis pigmentosa develops in the late teens or early 20's. Type III is characterised by progressive hearing loss and Retinitis Pigmentosa progressing at a variable rate, generally with onset around the second or third decade of life.

http://med-aapos.bu.edu/leaweb/EYES&V2/usher.html

Extractions: Retinitis pigmentosa is an eye disease that occurs rather often in the deaf and hard of hearing. Most often both the hearing loss and the retinal disease are caused by the same inherited disorder that is called Usher syndrome . Deafness or partial hearing loss is present at birth (Usher Type i and II) or develops later (Usher Type III) and retinitis pigmentosa develops its symptoms later. It becomes increasingly difficult to see in twilight and in the dark. The word retinitis means inflammation of the retina and is actually a wrong name because RP is not an inflammation but a degeneration of the retina. The word pigmentosa comes from the word pigment that means colour substance. The outermost layer of the retina is pigment epithelium with pigment containing cells. Retinitis pigmentosa first affects the pigment epithelium and the rod cells, and first later the cone cells and other retinal cells. Doctors express themselves saying that Usher syndrom is a "combined loss of hearing and vision" because of sensorineural hearing loss and degeneration of the retina . The word syndrome means that the disease affects several organs (eyes and ears) in a typical way. Sensorineural hearing loss means that the damaged cells are the hearing cells of the inner ear. Degeneration of the retina means that retinal cells, rods and cones, die very slowly, the rod cells earlier, the cone cells later. Loss of retinal functions leads to loss of visual field and other changes in vision.

Loss of retinal functions leads to loss of visual field and other changes in vision. There are other syndromes that cause loss of hearing and vision but they are more rare than is Usher syndrome. It is also possible that a person who lost his/her hearing for another disease later develops retinal disease. Or a person who is visually impaired may develop hearing problem later in life. Not everyone who has hearing problem and retinitis pigmentosa has Usher syndrome.

It is for Usher people themselves, their families and friends, plus those who work with people who have Usher, either directly or indirectly. Professionals who may be interested could include those in welfare and social work, teaching, employment, rehabilitation and audiology and eye clinics. The EUSN currently has 18 members from 12 different European countries. People with all three types of Usher are members of the EUSN. We also have at least 3 parents of people with Usher, plus some interested professionals. Of the professionals, one has RP and one is profoundly deaf with sight problems. Peter Palmer, a parent, is Chair of the EUSN and Carol Brill Doran, who has Usher Type 2, is Secretary.
