Clinical manifestations of dual‐gene variants in retinitis pigmentosa

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an inherited retinal disease (IRD), whereby each affected individual typically harbours pathogenic variants in a single causative gene, yet the disorder exhibits marked genetic heterogeneity, with more than 100 genes reported to underlie RP.

Retinal dystrophies simulating geographic atrophy: A diagnostic challenge

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Geographic atrophy (GA) is the chronic loss of retinal pigment epithelium, photoreceptors and choriocapillaris, marking the dry late stage of age‐related macular degeneration (AMD). GA prevalence is expected to rise in the upcoming decades. Advanced GA leads to central scotomas, reducing visual acuity and quality of life, potentially resulting

Genome‐wide association and interaction analysis for proliferative retinopathy in adults with type 2 diabetes born during famine: The DOLCE study in Ukraine

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is one of the leading causes of blindness in working‐age adults. We have previously shown that the risk of PDR is significantly elevated in individuals with intrauterine exposure to famine. However, the genetic mechanisms mediating this association remain unknown.

Usher syndrome‐related visual impairment in Finland: A 35‐year nationwide register‐based study (1985–2019)

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To investigate visual impairment (VI) associated with Usher syndrome (USH), a syndromic form of retinitis pigmentosa. Methods This register‐based study used data from the Register of the Finnish Federation for Visual Impairment for persons registered with USH‐related VI from 1985 to 2019.

Macular telangiectasia type 2 genetic risk variants associated with clinical characteristics in the Slovenian cohort

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Early diagnosis of macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel) remains challenging, and the contribution of genetic variation to its clinical heterogeneity is unclear. This study investigated associations between MacTel risk variants and clinical characteristics in a Slovenian cohort.
