Genetic Eye Diseases: Retinitis Pigmentosa and Other Inherited Eye Disorders
This volume should be available to all clinicians caring for patients with this confusing group of disorders. Hematologists, geneticists, general surgeons, and pediatricians will find it of great value. Investigators whose field of interest includes the lysosomal storage diseases and the function of lysosomal hydrolases will also find it of value, particularly from the methodological point of v...
متن کاملGenetic testing for inherited eye disease.
T he data, devices, and molecular techniques that have become part of the practice of medicine as a result of the Human Genome Project are for most clinicians both inspiring and intimidating. While the potential for tests that can help make very accurate diagnoses of rare genetic diseases and that can identify genetic predispositions to more common ones is exciting, the translation of this conc...
متن کاملRecommendations for genetic testing of inherited eye diseases: report of the American Academy of Ophthalmology task force on genetic testing.
Genetic testing can make a very positive impact on individuals and families affected with inherited eye disease in a number of ways. When properly performed, interpreted, and acted on, genetic tests can improve the accuracy of diagnoses and prognoses, can improve the accuracy of genetic counseling, can reduce the risk of disease occurrence or recurrence in families at risk, and can facilitate t...
متن کاملDiagnostic approaches for inherited hemolytic anemia in the genetic era
Inherited hemolytic anemias (IHAs) are genetic diseases that present with anemia due to the increased destruction of circulating abnormal RBCs. The RBC abnormalities are classified into the three major disorders of membranopathies, hemoglobinopathies, and enzymopathies. Traditional diagnosis of IHA has been performed via a step-wise process combining clinical and laboratory findings. Nowadays, ...
متن کاملGenetic manipulation for inherited neurodegenerative diseases: myth or reality?
Rare genetic diseases affect about 7% of the general population and over 7000 distinct clinical syndromes have been described with the majority being due to single gene defects. This review will provide a critical overview of genetic strategies that are being pioneered to halt or reverse disease progression in inherited neurodegenerative diseases. This field of research covers a vast area and o...
