| Remarks |
Clinically affected; symptom onset at birth; diagnosed at age 13 years; profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss; balance issues; retinitis pigmentosa diagnosed in the second decade of life-at age 25 visual acuity was 20/20 with pigmentary retinopathy present in the periphery; electroretinography revealed subnormal rod b-wave, reduced a and b waves of the mixed cone-rod signal, and reduced cone responses, kinetic fields indicated a large central island separated from a far temporal island by and absolute mid-peripheral scotoma, subject was normal for a wide central region but had a decline in sensitivity at 26-30 degrees eccentricity; subject is homozygous for USH1C gene mutation: 238_239insC (R80fs); assistive devices include cochlear implant; subject takes vitamin A, lutein and fish oil supplements; affected sister is GM25303 and unaffected carrier parents are GM25302 (mother) and GM25304 (father). |
