Abstract excerpt
Usher syndrome (USH) is the most common cause of deafblindness. USH is autosomal recessively inherited and characterized by rod-cone dystrophy or retinitis pigmentosa (RP), often accompanied by sensorineural hearing loss. Variants in >15 genes have been identified as causative for clinically and genetically distinct subtypes. Among the ultra-rare and recently discovered genes is ARSG, coding for the lysosomal...
