Whole genome sequencing unveils genetic heterogeneity in optic nerve hypoplasia. [PDF]
Optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) is a congenital malformation with a reduced number of retinal ganglion cell axons in a thin optic nerve. It is a common cause of visual impairment in children and ONH is associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, pituitary

Association of prepregnancy body mass index and gestational weight gain on severity of optic nerve hypoplasia [PDF]
Optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) is a birth defect of unknown etiology and a leading cause of visual impairment in developed countries. Recent studies suggest that factors of deprivation and exposures of poor nutritional status, such as lower gestational ...

Incidental bilateral optic nerve hypoplasia. [PDF]
A 19-year-old man was incidentally noted to have a bitemporal heteronymous hemianopia on automated perimetry during his first optician’s sight test (figure 1). The patient reported life-long reduced vision in the right eye although this was his first presentation to ophthalmic services.

OPTIC NERVE HYPOPLASIA: CHANGING PERSPECTIVES [PDF]
AbstractOptic nerve hypoplasia, having once been regarded as exceedingly rare, is now regarded as one of the major causes of visual loss in infancy. Recognition of subtle forms and segmental forms of optic nerve hypoplasia are important in explaining the evaluation of subnormal vision.

Genetic causes of optic nerve hypoplasia [PDF]
Optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) is the most common congenital optic nerve anomaly and a leading cause of blindness in the USA. Although most cases of ONH occur as isolated cases within their respective families, the advancement in molecular diagnostic technology has made us realise that a substantial fraction of cases has identifiable genetic causes ...
