Molecular genetics of age-related macular degeneration.
The numerous conditions that clinicians group under the term 'age-related macular degeneration' (AMD) are collectively the most common cause of severe visual loss in the developed world. Moreover, the number of people affected by these diseases is expected to nearly double in the next 25 years. A growing body of data suggests that a large fraction of AMD is caused by genetic factors. As a resul...
متن کاملthe genetics of age-related macular degeneration
age-related macular degeneration (amd) is the leading cause of blindness in old subjects. it is a multifactorial disease with both environmental and genetic factors playing some role in its pathogenesis. similar to many other genetic diseases, the inheritance pattern of amd does not fit into simple mendelian rules. these diseases are caused by the presence of multiple genetic factors and are ca...

amd بیماری تحلیل شبکیه است که عامل اصلی کوری در افراد بالای 55 سال در جهان غرب به شمار می-رود. در اثر این بیماری، لیپوپروتئین ها در شبکیه تجمع پیدا کرده و رگ زایی القاء می شود. ثابت شده است که عوامل ژنوتوکسیک محیطی مثل سیگار کشیدن، رژیم غذایی و نور در افراد پیر با زمینه ی ژنتیکی مستعد در بروز بیماری دخیل می باشند. بنابراین ما یک مطالعه ی مـورد- شاهـدی را ترتیب دادیم که شـامل 112 فرد مبتلا به am...
Measurement of Choroidal Neovascular Area in Age-Related Macular Degeneration using Modified Otsu’s Thresholding Method
Introduction: Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is one of the most important causes of irreversible blindness in the developed world and prevents the affected person from performing simple tasks such as reading, driving and facial recognition. In the AMD, new blood vessels grow underneath the retina in a process called choroidal neovascularisation (CNV). There ...
متن کاملCellular and Molecular Pathology of Age-Related Macular Degeneration: Potential Role for Proteoglycans
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a retinal disease evident after the age of 50 that damages the macula in the centre of retina. It leads to a loss of central vision with retained peripheral vision but eventual blindness occurs in many cases. The initiation site of AMD development is Bruch's membrane (BM) where multiple changes occur including the deposition of plasma derived lipids, ac...
