Usher syndrome is also known as Hallgren Syndrome, Usher-Hallgren Syndrome, retinitis-dysacusis, dystrophia retinae, dystrophia dysacusis, or Usher-Hallgren. It is a rare genetic disorder that results in hearing loss and vision impairment. It is the leading cause of deafblindness. At present, it is incurable. According to the gene responsible for deafness and when it occurs, Usher syndrome can be divided into three types (I-II and III). Mutations in genes that regulate the function of the inner and retina are responsible for all three types. These mutations can be passed down in an autosomal recessive manner. Usher syndrome causes hearing loss and gradual visual impairment.
The defective inner ear causes hearing loss, while the vision loss is due to retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a condition that results in the degeneration of retinal cells. The rod cells of your retina are usually affected first. This can lead to night blindness or progressive loss of peripheral vision. Other cases result in early degeneration of cone cells in the macula, which causes loss of central vision. Sometimes, foveal vision may be spared. This is called "doughnut sight". The central and peripheral visions are unaffected, but there is an annulus around the area of impaired vision. It is important to identify Usher syndrome early in life, as it is not incurable.
To diagnose Usher syndrome, the simplest way is to look for chromosomal mutations. Electroretinography is another option, but this can be uncomfortable for children and make it less reliable. A significant factor in diagnosing Usher syndrome is parental consanguinity. If the child is severely deaf at birth or slow to walk, Usher syndrome might be an indication. Gene therapy that adds the correct protein back (gene replacement) may be able to alleviate Usher syndrome, provided that the additional protein is functional. One form of the disease, which is caused by a mutation of myosin VIIa, has been shown to be treatable using lentivirus. Some of the Usher syndrome mutated genes encode large proteins, most notably the GPR98 and USH2A proteins. It may be difficult to find a gene replacement therapy for large proteins. The usher syndrome market is growing due to the rising incidence of genetic and inherited disorders. The global usher market will be boosted by the increasing prevalence of inherited diseases. The usher syndrome market may be hindered by a lack of knowledge and etiology.
