Core Tip	Usher syndrome (USH) is a genetically inherited condition characterized by both hearing loss and vision impairment, leading to restrictions in daily activities and social interactions. Therefore, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the genetic and molecular aspects of this syndrome is of utmost importance to facilitate early intervention and enhance the quality of life for affected individuals. This review aims to summarize the genetic and molecular diagnosis and current treatments of USH and underscore the significance of early diagnosis in guiding appropriate treatment approaches.
