Genetic testing in retinal dystrophies

Oman Journal of Ophthalmology, 2011
Developments in genetics and technology are bringing with them incredible possibilities in the management and potential cure of patients with retinal dystrophy. In this editorial, we address the issue of genetic testing in retinal dystrophies. In the first section, we provide some background information about genetic testing.

Low‐contrast visual acuity versus low‐luminance visual acuity in choroideremia

Clinical and Experimental Optometry, EarlyView., 2020
Clinical relevance Choroideremia is a progressive X‐linked inherited rod‐cone dystrophy. Patients present with nyctalopia and progressive visual field loss, but visual acuity remains well preserved early on. This study showed that low‐luminance visual acuity may be a useful clinical outcome measure during earlier disease stages.

Misfolded Proteins and Retinal Dystrophies [PDF]

, 2009
Many mutations associated with retinal degeneration lead to the production of misfolded proteins by cells of the retina. Emerging evidence suggests that these abnormal proteins cause cell death by activating the Unfolded Protein Response, a set of conserved intracellular signaling pathways that detect protein misfolding within the endoplasmic reticulum

Diagnostic Challenges in ABCA4-Associated Retinal Degeneration: One Gene, Many Phenotypes

Diagnostics, 2023
(1) Purpose: ABCA4-associated retinal degeneration (ABCA4-RD) is a phenotypically diverse disease that often evades diagnosis, even by experienced retinal specialists.

Chiral Nanoparticles Suppress Inflammatory Infiltration to Promote Extracellular Matrix Remodeling for Ectopia Lentis Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
L‐cysteine‐configured chiral polyurethane nanoparticles suppress ocular inflammation and reduce extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation in ectopia lentis by regulating macrophages polarization and inhibiting nuclear factor kappa B signaling pathway. By promoting zonular fiber‐associated protein restoration and tissue repair, this minimally invasive ...

Large‐scale Whole‐Exome Sequencing Defines the Protein‐Coding Architecture of Retinal Structure, Visual Function, and Major Blinding Diseases

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Large‐scale whole‐exome sequencing in 356,982 UK Biobank participants defines the protein‐coding architecture of retinal structure, visual function, and major blinding diseases. Pleiotropic genes, including CFI, C3, and RIOX1, bridge multiple retinal phenotypes, while experimental validation of FYB2 implicates RPE barrier dysfunction, providing ...

Tapetal-like sheen as a key phenotypical feature in TTLL5-associated cone dystrophy caused by a novel variant

American Journal of Ophthalmology Case Reports
Purpose: To report a patient with cone dystrophy and a striking tapetal reflex caused by a novel variant in TTLL5, which was initially missed by a local retinal specialist due to inaccurate phenotyping of macular dystrophy.

Health‐Related Quality of Life, Everyday Executive Functioning, and Eating Behavior in Adults With Bardet–Biedl Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare genetic condition with a broad phenotypic spectrum. Knowledge about quality of life, executive functioning, and eating behavior in adults with BBS remains limited. This study aimed to assess health‐related quality of life (HRQoL), everyday executive functioning, and eating behavior in adults with BBS and ...
