Psychophysical testing in glaucoma.
Glaucoma can be diagnosed as a group of conditions that share a characteristic topographic change at the optic nerve head (glaucomatous cupping) and pattern of visual loss (glaucomatous visual field defect). Usually the intraocular pressure (IOP) lies above the normal range. For a common complaint, the existence of which has been known for centuries, we ophthalmologists are not good at identify...
متن کاملPredictive genetic testing in minors for Myocilin juvenile onset open angle glaucoma.
Myocilin glaucoma is an autosomal dominant disorder leading to irreversible blindness, but early intervention can minimize vision loss and delay disease progression. The purpose of this study was to discuss the benefits of predictive genetic testing in minors for Myocilin mutations associated with childhood onset glaucoma. Three families with Myocilin mutations associated with an age of onset b...
متن کاملPolar body-based preimplantation genetic diagnosis for Mendelian disorders.
Introduced >20 years ago, the use of polar bodies (PBs), involving sequential removal and genetic analysis of the first (PB1) and second (PB2) PB, provides the option for pre-embryonic diagnosis, when the objection to the embryo biopsy procedures makes preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) non-applicable. PB-based approach has presently been utilized in PGD for genetic and chromosomal disorde...
متن کاملClinical exome sequencing for genetic identification of rare Mendelian disorders.
IMPORTANCE Clinical exome sequencing (CES) is rapidly becoming a common molecular diagnostic test for individuals with rare genetic disorders. OBJECTIVE To report on initial clinical indications for CES referrals and molecular diagnostic rates for different indications and for different test types. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Clinical exome sequencing was performed on 814 consecutive ...
متن کاملMendelian randomization: genetic anchors for causal inference in epidemiological studies
Observational epidemiological studies are prone to confounding, reverse causation and various biases and have generated findings that have proved to be unreliable indicators of the causal effects of modifiable exposures on disease outcomes. Mendelian randomization (MR) is a method that utilizes genetic variants that are robustly associated with such modifiable exposures to generate more reliabl...
