Lens Luxation in a CD-1 Mouse.

Mapping the mutation causing lens luxation in several terrier breeds.

Primary lens luxation (PLL), a painful and blinding inherited condition, is common in several breeds of terrier. Here we have examined the Veterinary Medical Database of patient encounters and Canine Eye Registration Foundation (CERF) cases records for the last 10 years and found the diagnosis recorded in 85 breeds. We have performed association analysis using a genome-wide microsatellite scree...

Analysis of the Mouse CD 30 Gene A Candidate for the NOD Mouse Type 1 Diabetes

Members of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily play an important role in the initiation, expansion, and termination of an immune response. It has recently been demonstrated that one member of this family, CD30, plays a central role in maintaining peripheral tolerance by controlling the expansion of autoreactive CD8 T-cells. In the present study, Cd30 was mapped to a 5.6-cM interval o...

A case report of intraocular lens luxation with the capsular bag after vitrectomy.

We experienced a case of intraocular lens (IOL) luxation with the capsular bag after vitrectomy. The case was a 66-year-old female in whom an IOL was implanted one year after surgery for giant tear retinal detachment using silicone oil. Four years after the implantation surgery, the patient suffered subluxation of the IOL with the capsular bag. Examinations of the luxated IOL with the capsular ...
