Vestibular disorders are present in half of the cases. In type 3 (USH3), hearing loss and vision loss due to RP develop in adolescence or early adulthood and both are progressive. Biallelic mutations in USH2A account for the majority of the cases (~80%). It is associated with moderate to severe hearing loss, absence of vestibular dysfunction, and later onset of retinal degeneration. Usher syndrome type 2 (USH2) is the most common form of the Usher syndromes (60% of cases). Mutations in MYO7A are the most common causes for patents with USH type 1 globally. Type 1 (USH1) accounts for almost 40% of cases and is the most severe form, characterized by severe to profound congenital deafness, vestibular areflexia, and prepubertal onset of progressive RP. Three clinical entities have been defined. It is clinically and genetically heterogeneous and is the most common cause of hereditary combined deafness-blindness. Usher syndrome (USH) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by hearing loss, retinitis pigmentosa (RP), and in some cases vestibular dysfunction.
