Usher syndrome: Recent advances in our understanding of genes and therapeutics

Written by
Dr Aziz El-Amraoui and Dr Gwenaelle Geleoc research Usher syndrome, a genetic mutation in the USH1, USH2 and USH3 genes that causes hearing loss and vision loss.

Usher syndrome is a rare disease that affects the sensory systems of vision, hearing, and balance. Recent advances in scientific technologies reveal the genes involved in Usher syndrome, their varying phenotypic outcomes, and avenues for therapeutic development. Dr Aziz El-Amraoui of the Pasteur Institute in Paris, France, and Dr Gwenaelle Géléoc of Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in […]
