We both have had moderate hearing loss since birth. My brother's visual loss has been more gradual than mine. At age 43, I am legally blind (have been for the last five years). This is my view of life with Usher syndrome, a psychological adversary that I subconsciously joust with everyday of my life. I was born in a military hospital in Oceanport, New Jersey, on October 14, 1950. I have been blessed with a loving , supportive family. My dad was a 42 year career military man. He is a gentle, good-natured man despite his massive six foot four, 219 pounds. I guess I was 4 or 5 years old when I knew I wanted to be a soldier like my dad with one difference, I wanted to be an officer! My mom was the greatest! She tirelessly took my brother, Ray, and me to the best doctors and medical facilities. The way she "worked people" was magic and her influence on my life aspirations has been invaluable. My older sister, Judy, was a true scholar, intelligent and articulate. She spent many hours playing games with me and was an inspiring role model for academic achievement.

E-Application News Gene Therapy for Usher Syndrome 27 May 2004 Dr. John Flannery, who has worked extensively with gene therapy for eye diseases in animal models, presented the annual Sidney Futterman Memorial Lecture at the Department of Ophthalmology, School of Medicine, University of Washington. The title of his talk was "Gene Therapy for Usher Syndrome, a Major Cause of Combined Blindness and Deafness." Flannery has recently focused his attention on Usher syndrome, an umbrella name for a family of inherited diseases that affect both vision and hearing. Seven genes related to Usher syndrome have been identified. The speaker's early career was spent studying fundamental processes in the retina that control vision. He began working on gene therapy in the retina while he was a young faculty member at the University of Florida. His studies using adeno-associated virus-mediated expression of various fibroblast growth factors have delayed or halted advancing photoreceptor cell degeneration in rat and mouse models of retinitis pigmentosa. In the process, the work has increased understanding of mechanisms important to photoreceptor cell death and survival. The treatment has not yet been tried in humans.

Retina International Seeking a cure for Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), Macular Degeneration, Usher Syndrome and allied retinal distrophies Usher Syndrome A Condition which affects Hearing and Sight. by Mary Guest, Head of Usher Services at Sense. What is it ? 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. Retinitis Pigmentosa, 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

Department of Biometry and Genetics, Louisiana State University Medical Center *Corresponding author email: f3h@helix.nih.gov Purpose : To refine the map position of the Usher syndrome type 1C (USH1C) locus to 11p14-p15.1 in the French-Acadian population settled in Louisiana. 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. Conclusion : The Usher Syndrome type 1C gene has been localized to a 1 cM interval between the markers D11S1397 and D11S1888 on chromosome 11p14.

Medical Literature The information provided in this Resource Guide was developed by the National Eye Institute (NEI) to help patients and their families in searching for general information about Usher syndrome. An eye care professional who has examined the patient's eyes and is familiar with his or her medical history is the best person to answer specific questions. What Is Usher Syndrome? Usher syndrome is an inherited condition that causes 1) a serious hearing loss that is usually present at birth or shortly thereafter and 2) progressive vision loss caused by retinitis pigmentosa (RP). 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. Researchers have described three types of Usher syndrome-type I, type II and type III.
