Divergence insufficiency associated with high myopia
PURPOSE Divergence insufficiency is generally regarded as a neurological event. While high myopia is not a well-known cause of divergence insufficiency, we frequently encounter divergence insufficiency in high-myopia patients. Thus, the purpose of this study was to report detailed information on such cases and examine mechanisms that might potentially be responsible for this disorder. METHODS...
متن کاملSurgical management of macular retinoschisis associated with high myopia.
pletely in the left eye. The NVI disappeared, leaving no trace on clinical or fluorescein angiography, and intraocular pressures remained lower than 22 mm Hg. At 5 months’ followup, both eyes remained stable without NVI or glaucoma. Case 2. A 7-month-old girl was initially seen with bilateral leukocoria from bilateral advanced retinoblastoma. Both eyes showed retinal detachment, subretinal seed...
متن کاملPAX6 Haplotypes Are Associated with High Myopia in Han Chinese
BACKGROUND The paired box 6 (PAX6) gene is considered as a master gene for eye development. Linkage of myopia to the PAX6 region on chromosome 11p13 was shown in several studies, but the results for association between myopia and PAX6 were inconsistent so far. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We genotyped 16 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PAX6 gene and its regulatory regions in a...
متن کاملX-linked high myopia associated with cone dysfunction.
OBJECTIVE Bornholm eye disease (BED) consists of X-linked high myopia, high cylinder, optic nerve hypoplasia, reduced electroretinographic flicker with abnormal photopic responses, and deuteranopia. The disease maps to chromosome Xq28 and is the first designated high-grade myopia locus (MYP1). We studied a second family from Minnesota with a similar X-linked phenotype, also of Danish descent. A...
متن کاملMuscarinic acetylcholine receptor 1 gene polymorphisms associated with high myopia
PURPOSE Numerous studies, including those using animal models of myopia development and human clinical trials, have shown that the non-selective muscarinic antagonist atropine is effective in preventing the axial elongation that leads to myopia development. Among all of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs), mAChR 1 (M1) was the most effective in preventing myopic eye change. Our spec...
