Indications for genetic testing:

1. Confirmation of clinical diagnosis
2. Carrier testing for at-risk family members
3. Genetic counseling
4. Prenatal diagnosis for known familial mutation

Usher syndrome is a combination of retinitis pigmentosa and sensorineural hearing loss with or without vestibular dysfunction. Usher syndrome represents 50% of all cases with deafness and blindness. Usher syndrome is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Three major clinical types can be distinguished. Usher syndrome type I (USH1) is characterized by severe to profound congenital hearing loss, RP and vestibular areflexia. Patients with Usher syndrome type II (USH2) have moderate to severe hearing loss, RP and normal or variable vestibular function. Patients with Usher syndrome type III (USH3) have progressive hearing loss, RP and variable vestibular function.

Expanded NGS panels

Usher syndrome NGS panel now includes 20 genes – ABHD12, CDH23, CIB2, CLRN1, COL4A6, DFNB31, DSPP, GIPC3, GPR98, HARS, KARS, LHFPL5, LOXHD1, MYO7A, PCDH15, PDZD7, TNC, USH2A, USH1C, and USH1G. Leber congenital amaurosis test has also been expanded to 20 genes – AIPL1, CABP4, CEP290, CRB1, CRX, GDF6, GUCY2D, IMPDH1, IQCB1, KCNJ13, LCA5, LRAT, NMNAT1, OTX2, RD3, RDH12, RPE65, RPGRIP1, SPATA7, and TULP1. Skeletal dysplasia testing panel has been updated with two new genes – TRIP11 and WNT5A.

New version of Usher Syndrome test

Asper Biotech has launched a new version of Usher syndrome test. The APEX-based test has been updated to include 810 alterations associated with different types of Usher syndrome, as well as nonsyndromic hearing loss and deafness.

For more comprehensive diagnostics we are also offering Usher syndrome Next-Gen Panel that covers the analysis of eleven disease-related genes – ABHD12, CDH23, CLRN1, DFNB31, HARS, GPR98, MYO7A, PCDH15, USH2A, USH1C, and USH1G.

International Symposium on Usher Syndrome and Related Diseases

Asper Biotech will participate at International Symposium on Usher Syndrome and Related Diseases,  on 27-29th of May 2010 in Valencia, Spain.

Asper Biotech’s genetic counsellor Ilona Lind will present the report on Asper’s diagnostic tool for the Usher syndrome.

List of diseases covered by the panel


Lab method: NGS panel with CNV analysis

TAT: 6-9 weeks

Specimen requirements: 2-4 ml of blood with anticoagulant EDTA

1 µg DNA in TE, AE or pure sterile water at 100-250 ng/µl
The A260/A280 ratio should be 1.8-2.0. DNA sample should be run on an agarose gel as a single band, showing no degradation, alongside with a quantitative DNA marker.

Lab method: MLPA

TAT: 4-6 weeks

Specimen requirements: 2-4 ml of blood with anticoagulant EDTA

2 µg DNA in TE, AE or pure sterile water at 100-250 ng/µl

Indications for genetic testing:

1. Confirmation of clinical diagnosis
2. Carrier testing for at-risk family members
3. Genetic counseling
4. Prenatal diagnosis for known familial mutation

Usher syndrome is a combination of retinitis pigmentosa and sensorineural hearing loss with or without vestibular dysfunction. Usher syndrome represents 50% of all cases with deafness and blindness. Usher syndrome is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Three major clinical types can be distinguished. Usher syndrome type I (USH1) is characterized by severe to profound congenital hearing loss, RP and vestibular areflexia. Patients with Usher syndrome type II (USH2) have moderate to severe hearing loss, RP and normal or variable vestibular function. Patients with Usher syndrome type III (USH3) have progressive hearing loss, RP and variable vestibular function.

Asper Ophthalmics is a comprehensive collection of genetic tests targeted at the diagnostics of a wide variety of hereditary ocular disorders, including retinal disorders, corneal dystrophies, and age related ophthalmic conditions.

Our genetic tests assist clinicians in confirming diagnoses and informing patients about their risks for inherited eye diseases.
