Indications for genetic testing:

1. Confirmation of clinical diagnosis
2. Carrier testing for at-risk family members
3. Genetic counseling
4. Prenatal diagnosis for known familial mutation

Usher syndrome is a combination of retinitis pigmentosa and sensorineural hearing loss with or without vestibular dysfunction. Usher syndrome represents 50% of all cases with deafness and blindness. Usher syndrome is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Three major clinical types can be distinguished. Usher syndrome type I (USH1) is characterized by severe to profound congenital hearing loss, RP and vestibular areflexia. Patients with Usher syndrome type II (USH2) have moderate to severe hearing loss, RP and normal or variable vestibular function. Patients with Usher syndrome type III (USH3) have progressive hearing loss, RP and variable vestibular function.

New version of Usher Syndrome test

Published 07/05/2013

Asper Biotech has launched a new version of Usher syndrome test. The APEX-based test has been updated to include 810 alterations associated with different types of Usher syndrome, as well as nonsyndromic hearing loss and deafness.

For more comprehensive diagnostics we are also offering Usher syndrome Next-Gen Panel that covers the analysis of eleven disease-related genes – ABHD12, CDH23, CLRN1, DFNB31, HARS, GPR98, MYO7A, PCDH15, USH2A, USH1C, and USH1G.

Usher syndrome is a combination of retinitis pigmentosa and sensorineural hearing loss with or without vestibular dysfunction. Usher syndrome represents 50% of all cases with deafness and blindness. Usher syndrome is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Three major clinical types can be distinguished. Usher syndrome type I (USH1) is characterized by severe to profound congenital hearing loss, RP and vestibular areflexia. Patients with Usher syndrome type II (USH2) have moderate to severe hearing loss, RP and normal or variable vestibular function. Patients with Usher syndrome type III (USH3) have progressive hearing loss, RP and variable vestibular function.
