Minocycline and bone marrow–derived mononuclear cells as potential therapeutics for hereditary retinal degenerations

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To assess in Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) rats if the combination of two previously documented neuroprotective strategies: minocycline administration and bone marrow–derived mononuclear cells (BM‐MNCs) intravitreal transplantation, offers enhanced neuroprotection compared with each treatment alone.

Reconceptualizing Pediatric Strabismus as a Condition Rooted in Sensory Processing Disorder: A Novel Case-Based Hypothesis

open access: yesChildren
Background/Objectives: A direct link between sensory processing disorder (SPD) and strabismus has not been systematically investigated, though prior studies suggest sensory modulation may influence visual behaviors. Traditional approaches view strabismus

Revised Swedish visual field standards for a driver's licence: Threshold perimetry as a predictor of eligibility according to the current Swedish and current Norwegian suprathreshold standards

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To explore whether threshold perimetry can predict fulfilment of the current Swedish and current Norwegian Esterman perimetry standards for Group 1 driver's licence, and differences in compliance between the former and current Swedish visual field standards.

Rescue of the MERTK phagocytic defect in a human iPSC disease model using translational read-through inducing drugs. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Inherited retinal dystrophies are an important cause of blindness, for which currently there are no effective treatments. In order to study this heterogeneous group of diseases, adequate disease models are required in order to better understand pathology

A novel NR2E3 gene mutation in autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa with cystic maculopathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
NR2E3 is a gene that encodes for photoreceptor cell specific nuclear receptor, which is involved in cone proliferation. The splice site mutation 119-2A>C in NR2E3 (15q23) has been previously reported to underlie recessive enhanced cone S sensitivity ...

Decline of Visual Function and Risk of Legal Blindness With Age in RPGR‐Associated Retinal Degeneration: A Multicenter Study

open access: yesClinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background This retrospective multicenter longitudinal analysis analysed the loss trajectory of best recorded visual acuity (BRVA) and Goldmann visual field (GVF) in RPGR‐associated retinal degeneration (RPGR‐RD). Methods Patients with genetically confirmed RPGR‐RD were classified into rod‐cone (RC), cone/cone‐rod (CR) and female‐carrier ...

Deep‐Intronic Variant in RUNX2 Causing Pseudo‐Exon Inclusion in a Family With Cleidocranial Dysplasia

open access: yesClinical Genetics, EarlyView.
A deep‐intronic single nucleotide variant in RUNX2 causes the characteristic clinical features of cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) in a family via pseudo‐exon inclusion into the mRNA. The pseudo‐exon contains a premature stop codon and triggers mRNA decay, which results in RUNX2 haploinsufficiency, the known disease mechanism.

A nonhuman primate model of inherited retinal disease. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Inherited retinal degenerations are a common cause of untreatable blindness worldwide, with retinitis pigmentosa and cone dystrophy affecting approximately 1 in 3500 and 1 in 10,000 individuals, respectively.

Assessment of the incorporation of CNV surveillance into gene panel next-generation sequencing testing for inherited retinal diseases. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
BACKGROUND: Diagnostic use of gene panel next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques is commonplace for individuals with inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs), a highly genetically heterogeneous group of disorders.
