At the mental Health Unit for the Deaf of the Gregorio Marañón Hospital in Madrid we have observed that our Deaf patients as a group experience a greater number of Genetic Syndromes than the general population. Clinical diagnosis and intervention of deaf patients is particularly complex, professionals that work with this population must update their knowledge in ORL, Nephrology and Ophthalmology. Our goal is to show how common are these syndromes among our patients treated at our unit from 2003 and describe their psychopathology. Most common genetics syndromes among our patients are Usher syndrome, Waardenburg, syndrome, Noonan syndrome, Cornelia de Lange syndrome and Pendred syndrome. The Gregorio Marañon Hospital in Madrid is one of the few mental health units for deaf people in Europe -that is, the Unidad de Salud Mental para Sordos (USMS). This unique service counts with a psychiatrists, a psychologist and a social worker.
