Accelerated age-related olfactory decline among type 1 Usher patients
Ribeiro, JC; Oliveiros, B; Pereira, P; António, N; Hummel, T; Paiva, A; Silva, EUsher Syndrome (USH) is a rare disease with hearing loss, retinitis pigmentosa and, sometimes, vestibular dysfunction. A phenotype heterogeneity is reported. Recent evidence indicates that USH is likely to belong to an emerging class of sensory ciliopathies. Olfaction has recently been implicated in ciliopathies, but the scarce literature about olfaction in USH show conflicting results. We aim to evaluate olfac...
