I am a senior medical sicentist and work with retinal disease. Usher Syndrome is a recessive disease. Recessive diseases require two 'mistakes' in a single gene for a patient to manifest the disease. A dominant disease requires only one 'mistake' in a single gene to manifest the disease. X-linked diseases require a single mistake on the x chromosome. In any case, Usher is recessive. If you have usher, it is likely that you inherited one mistake from you mother and one mistake from your father (they don't manifest the disease themselves as they only have one mistake in the gene, not two). Of course it is also possibloe that you inheirited one mistake from your mother or your father, and the second 'mistake' that you have (if it is yourself with usher) is a new mutation (called a germ line mutation) that originated in the sperm or egg that created you.
To all those people out there who post replies....please do not reply unless you know what you are talking about. Misinformation could be dangerous.

Is servant syndrome dominant or recessive?

Is kleinfelters syndrome recessive?
Kleinfelters is a chromosomal "trisomy" of the sex chromosomes. It is not inherited in a recessive or dominant manner.
Is Rett syndrome dominant or recessive?
Rett syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that is typically caused by a mutation in the MECP2 gene located on the X chromosome. It is not classified as dominant or recessive in the traditional sense because it primarily affects individuals with two X chromosomes. It is considered an X-linked dominant disorder with variable expressivity and reduced penetrance.
Is lobster claw syndrome dominant or recessive?
Lobster claw syndrome, or Ectrodactyly, is a rare genetic condition caused by a mutation in the TP63 gene, which is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. This means that only one copy of the mutated gene is needed to display the syndrome.
Is cat eye syndrome dominant or recessive?
Cat eye syndrome is a genetic condition that is caused by an extra piece of genetic material on chromosome 22. It is not determined by simple dominant or recessive inheritance patterns, but rather by the presence of the extra genetic material.
Is Lowe syndrome dominant or recessive?

Is tourette syndrome dominate or recessive?
semi-dominant--semi-recessive
Is Down syndrome a dominant or recessive?
Down syndrome is neither dominant nor recessive. Actually, it is considered to be an "autosomal" trait. This occurs when there is damage to the chromosome.
What are two forms of robinow syndrome?
Dominant and recessive
Is down syndrome cause by dominant or recessive?
Down syndrome is neither caused by dominant or recessive chromosomes it is simply caused by an error in the translation process of chromosome 21.
