The optical coherence tomography and microperimetry biomarker evaluation in patients with geographic atrophy (OMEGA) study: Geographic atrophy progression in fundus autofluorescence ‐ OMEGA report 3

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To measure the progression of geographic atrophy (GA) in subjects with age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) in a natural history study. Methods We analysed fundus autofluorescence (FAF) images using a semiautomatic method (RegionFinder) to quantify the GA area in a monocentric study.

The impacts of high refractive errors on self‐reported visual function and visual concern

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To examine the association between refractive errors and self‐reported visual function and visual concern, considering self‐perceived present eyesight, concerns about vision, accomplishing less and limitations in daily activities in an eye‐healthy cohort.

Highly sensitive measurements of disease progression in rare disorders: Developing and validating a multimodal model of retinal degeneration in Stargardt disease. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
BACKGROUND:Each inherited retinal disorder is rare, but together, they affect millions of people worldwide. No treatment is currently available for these blinding diseases, but promising new options-including gene therapy-are emerging. Arguably, the most

Effective splicing restoration of a deep-intronic ABCA4 variant in cone photoreceptor precursor cells by CRISPR/SpCas9 approaches

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2022
Stargardt disease is an autosomal recessively inherited retinal disorder commonly caused by pathogenic variants in the ABCA4 gene encoding the ATP-binding cassette subfamily A member 4 (ABCA4) protein.

Adverse Events of Saffron (Crocus sativus L.): Systematic Review of Current Evidence

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Crocus sativus L., commonly known as saffron, is a widely used spice with a rich history of culinary and medicinal applications. This systematic review aims to compile human data from studies on monopreparations of C. sativus, including stigma powder and other extracts, to evaluate their safety.

Comprehensive Rare Variant Analysis via Whole-Genome Sequencing to Determine the Molecular Pathology of Inherited Retinal Disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Inherited retinal disease is a common cause of visual impairment and represents a highly heterogeneous group of conditions. Here, we present findings from a cohort of 722 individuals with inherited retinal disease, who have had whole-genome sequencing (n

Expanding Access to Genome Sequencing: Higher Diagnostic Yield in Self‐Referred Participants From the CincyKidsSeq Study and Implications for Hybrid Models of Genetic Service Delivery

open access: yesClinical Genetics, Volume 109, Issue 4, Page 717-724, April 2026.
Genome sequencing helped find answers for 1 in 5 children with rare conditions in an outpatient study looking at hybrid genetic care delivery. Families who chose testing themselves had the highest diagnostic yield, showing that self‐referral may be a helpful way to improve access to genetic care.

Systemic complement activation levels in Stargardt disease.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
PurposePreclinical research provides evidence for the complement system as a potential common pathway in Stargardt disease (STGD1) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) leading to retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) loss.
