  Not MeSH Term. 

Description: The Usher syndromes (USH) are a large group of inherited disorders which combine simultaneously both the hearing impairment and progressive loss of vision (similar to "Retinitis Pigmentosa" [RP]). Type 1 (USH1) is characterized by a congenital (present at birth), severe to profound and preverbal deafness, absent vestibular deterioration (balance) function and early onset of an RP-like retinal deterioration (typically by age 5 or 6 years and almost always before age 10 years.) Type II (USH2) has a milder (post-verbal) hearing loss, apparently present from birth, and a later onset (or detection) of an RP-like retinal degeneration (typically between ages 10-20 years). Although still controversial, the existence of at least a third type (USH3), distinguished from USH2 by the rapid and progressive nature of its hearing loss, has been suggested.
