Abstract

With the objective to describe the genetic and clinical characteristics of Usher Syndrome, it was performed a descriptive transversal research in the Province Center of  Retinitis Pigmentosa in Bayamo, since february to july, 2009, with 59 patients diagnosed with Usher Syndrome, through interviews, otorrine-ophtalmologic exams and a revision of their clinical  antecedents. From the associated way of Retinitis Pigmentosa, the Usher syndrome prevailed with 74.6%. The type I was the most frequent, and male sex the most affected.  The consanguinity was found in 61.01% of the patients. The ocular and audiologic manifestations had a precocious beginning in most of the cases. The mental retardation and affective disorders were found in 22.03 %of the patients. In the research it was evidenced the heterogeneous from the clinical and genetical point of view of Usher Syndrome, as well as the hereditary character as a pattern of autosomic recessive inheritance. It is very important to know and make a precious diagnosis with the objective to control natality in parents and for the application of educational programs according to their disabilities to develop the  independent life in patients.
