Purpose To present a case of type II oculocutaneous albinism (OCA2) diagnosed in infancy following the finding of nystagmus, and to review the diagnostic process and the management of this disorder. Observation A 4‐month‐old female presented with subtle, roving eyes that were initially attributed to normal development.

The molecular basis of human retinal and vitreoretinal diseases [PDF]
During the last two to three decades, a large body of work has revealed the molecular basis of many human disorders, including retinal and vitreoretinal degenerations and dysfunctions.

Toward Precision Medicine: Gene Therapy Applications in the Management of Uveal Melanoma
ABSTRACT Background Uveal melanoma (UM) is the prevailing malignant tumor that develops within the eye in adults, and it has a bleak outlook because of the few treatment choices available and the high likelihood of returning after treatment. Currently, surgical intervention, radiation therapy, and a combination of both modalities are available ...

Presence of rd8 mutation does not alter the ocular phenotype of late-onset retinal degeneration mouse model. [PDF]
PurposeA spontaneous frameshift mutation, c.3481delC, in the Crb1 gene is the underlying cause of dysplasia and retinal degeneration in rd8 mice. The rd8 mutation is found in C57BL/6N but not in C57BL/6J mouse sub-strains.

ABSTRACT Gene editing therapies are designed to minimise off‐target editing. However, it is not widespread practice for common polymorphisms to be considered when identifying potential off‐target sites in silico. Nevertheless, genetic variants should be included as they have the potential to alter existing, or to generate new, off‐target sites.

Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA): Potential for Improvement of Vision
Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is a group of monogenic inherited retinal degenerations that typically show early onset and severe visual dysfunction. In addition, there is a natural history of progressive loss of photoreceptors and associated further ...

ABSTRACT Non‐syndromic Retinitis Pigmentosa (NsRP) was well known as one of the causes of visual impairment already in the 19th century. Giuseppe Albertotti, Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Modena (Italy) in 1893, described a high prevalence of NsRP in a geographic isolate, the small village of Colloro, in northwestern Italy.
