Position of macula lutea and presence of proliferative vitreoretinopathy affect vitreous cytokine expression in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2020
Our purpose was to evaluate the concentrations of vitreous cytokines in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). We hypothesized that patients with macula on RRD have lower levels of cytokines compared to patients with macula off RRD and ...

Efficacy of Diacetate Esters of Macular Carotenoids: Effect of Supplementation on Macular Pigment

Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism, 2018
The accumulation of the carotenoids lutein, zeaxanthin, and mesozeaxanthin in the center of the human retina, and known as the macula lutea or macular pigment, is believed to protect the retina from age-related macular degeneration.

Analysis of structural and vascular changes of the optic nerve head and macula in different stages of primary open angle glaucoma [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2022
Background/Aim. It is possible that patients with open-angle glaucoma be asymptomatic in the early stage of the disease. The aim of this study was to determine the structural and vascular changes of the optic disc (OD) and macula in healthy and primary ...

Compendium of Clinical Variant Classification for 2,246 Unique ABCA4 Variants to Clarify Variant Pathogenicity in Stargardt Disease Using a Modified ACMG/AMP Framework

Human Mutation, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Biallelic variants in ABCA4 cause Stargardt disease (STGD1), the most frequent heritable macular disease. Determination of the pathogenicity of variants in ABCA4 proves to be difficult due to (1) the high number of benign and pathogenic variants in the gene; (2) the presence of many rare ABCA4 variants; (3) the presence of complex alleles for which ...

Aster la vista: Unraveling the biochemical basis of carotenoid homeostasis in the human retina

BioEssays, Volume 44, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022
Carotenoid pigments play critical roles as colorants, light filters, and chromophores. A novel class of lipid transfer proteins, the Aster proteins (GRAM‐domain containing) were identified. We discuss how the differential expression of Aster proteins and beta‐carotene‐oxygenase 2 (BCO2) establish the unique carotenoid distribution patterns in the ...
