Medical management of hereditary optic neuropathies. [PDF]

, 2014
Hereditary optic neuropathies are diseases affecting the optic nerve. The most common are mitochondrial hereditary optic neuropathies, i.e., the maternally inherited Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and dominant optic atrophy (DOA).

Carrier screening in the reproductive setting—Are there medical implications for the heterozygote?—A guide for clinicians

Pregnancy, Volume 2, Issue 3, May 2026.
Abstract Carrier screening for genetic conditions performed preconception or during pregnancy allows identification of fetal risk for inherited autosomal recessive and X‐linked conditions. The goal is to identify at‐risk patients/couples and offer them reproductive options such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis, prenatal testing, or targeted newborn

Advances in the genetics of refractive errors: Contributions from the CREAM consortium

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 3, Page e222-e231, May 2026.
Abstract The Consortium for Refractive Error and Myopia (CREAM) was established in 2011, bringing together an international team of researchers studying more than 30 cohorts. Since its establishment, CREAM has played a pivotal role in research investigating the genetics of myopia and other refractive errors, serving as a key driver of progress in the ...

A defective structural zipper in photoreceptors causes inherited blindness

PLoS Biology, 2022
Being able to see the beauty of this world is a wonderful thing unfortunately unavailable to people with inherited blindness. In this issue of PLOS Biology, Mercey and colleagues present optimized expansion microscopy for retinal tissue, which represents

New and emerging technologies for the treatment of inherited retinal diseases: a horizon scanning review. [PDF]

, 2015
The horizon scanning review aimed to identify new and emerging technologies in development that have the potential to slow or stop disease progression and/or reverse sight loss in people with inherited retinal diseases (IRDs).

Opening closed inward rectifier potassium channel doors

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 10, Page 2197-2218, May 2026.
Inwardly rectifying potassium (KIR) channels are essential regulators of membrane potential in excitable and non‐excitable tissues. Although KIR channels exhibit a biophysical preference for potassium influx due to voltage‐dependent block of outward current by polyamines and Mg2+, under physiological conditions, they predominantly mediate K+ efflux ...

Retinal Pigment Epitheliopathy due to Sub‐Optimal Recycling of Vitamin A (RESORVA): A Novel RDH11 ‐Related Phenotype

Clinical Genetics, Volume 109, Issue 5, Page 972-977, May 2026.
RDH11 is a minor isoenzyme that catalyses the oxidation of 11‐cis‐retinol to 11‐cis‐retinal in the retinal pigment epithelium, alongside RDH5 and RDH10. Biallelic null variants in RDH11 lead to upregulation of RDH5 and RDH10 (transcriptional adaptation), maintaining 11‐cis‐retinal bioavailability, but still causing Retinal Pigment Epitheliopathy due to

Cellular Identity Crisis: RD3 Loss Fuels Plasticity and Immune Silence in Progressive Neuroblastoma

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 20, 9 April 2026.
Researchers discovered that therapy‐induced loss of RD3 protein in neuroblastoma triggers a dangerous shift: cancer cells become more stem‐like, invasive, and resistant to treatment while evading immune detection. RD3 loss suppresses antigen presentation and boosts immune checkpoints, creating an immune‐silent environment.
