Usher syndrome (USH) is a rare inherited condition - passing from parents to children - that impacts three major senses in the body: vision, hearing, and balance. While considered a rare disease, Usher syndrome is the most common genetic cause of combined deafness and blindness. More than 400,000 people are affected by this genetic disorder worldwide.
