Dog Models for Blinding Inherited Retinal Dystrophies [PDF]

Human Gene Therapy Clinical Development, 2015
Spontaneous canine models exist for several inherited retinal dystrophies. This review will summarize the models and indicate where they have been used in translational gene therapy trials. The RPE65 gene therapy trials to treat childhood blindness are a good example of how studies in dogs have contributed to therapy development.

Reviewing the Role of Ultra-Widefield Imaging in Inherited Retinal Dystrophies

Ophthalmology and Therapy, 2020
Inherited retinal dystrophies (IRD) are a heterogeneous group of rare chronic disorders caused by genetically determined degeneration of photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelium cells.

Application of Whole Exome Sequencing in Six Families with an Initial Diagnosis of Autosomal Dominant Retinitis Pigmentosa: Lessons Learned. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
This study aimed to identify the genetics underlying dominant forms of inherited retinal dystrophies using whole exome sequencing (WES) in six families extensively screened for known mutations or genes.

Bilateral Retinitis Pigmentosa with Bilateral Microphakia: An Uncommon Association

Delhi Journal of Ophthalmology, 2022
A series of progressive inherited retinal dystrophies known as retinitis pigmentosa include degeneration of rods followed by the loss of cone photoreceptors.

Low‐contrast visual acuity versus low‐luminance visual acuity in choroideremia

Clinical and Experimental Optometry, EarlyView., 2020
Clinical relevance Choroideremia is a progressive X‐linked inherited rod‐cone dystrophy. Patients present with nyctalopia and progressive visual field loss, but visual acuity remains well preserved early on. This study showed that low‐luminance visual acuity may be a useful clinical outcome measure during earlier disease stages.

Effects of A2E-Induced Oxidative Stress on Retinal Epithelial Cells: New Insights on Differential Gene Response and Retinal Dystrophies

Antioxidants, 2020
Oxidative stress represents one of the principal inductors of lifestyle-related and genetic diseases. Among them, inherited retinal dystrophies, such as age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa, are well known to be susceptible to ...

Diagnostic exome sequencing in 266 Dutch patients with visual impairment [PDF]

, 2017
Inherited eye disorders have a large clinical and genetic heterogeneity, which makes genetic diagnosis cumbersome. An exome-sequencing approach was developed in which data analysis was divided into two steps: the vision gene panel and exome analysis.

Expanding the phenotype of TTLL5-associated retinal dystrophy: a case series

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2022
Background Inherited retinal dystrophies describe a heterogeneous group of retinal diseases that lead to the irreversible degeneration of rod and cone photoreceptors and eventual blindness.
