The bst locus on mouse chromosome 16 is associated with age-related subretinal neovascularization.
Ocular neovascularization is the leading cause of blindness in developed countries and often causes rapid loss of vision in age-related macular degeneration. Acute visual loss is most often due to hemorrhage from new vessels that have extended from the choroid into the subretinal space. Growth of abnormal vessels beneath the retina in this condition is known as subretinal neovascularization (SR...
متن کاملSubretinal choroidal neovascularization associated with choroidal nevus.
PURPOSE Evaluation of a large series of choroidal nevi inducing the formation of a neovascular membrane in order to more clearly define the clinical presentation and to evaluate the efficacy of various treatment options. METHOD Retrospective study of 22 clinical cases. RESULTS All nevi were situated in the posterior choroid. They had a mean diameter of 3.8 mm and a mean thickness of 1.4 mm....
متن کاملA susceptibility locus for radiation lymphomagenesis on mouse chromosome 16.
BALB/cHeA (BALB/c) mice are sensitive to radiation lymphomagenesis, while STS/A (STS) mice are resistant. We have selected a recombinant mouse, R1, with a STS-derived D16Mit165-D16Mit34 segment in the vicinity of the centromere of chromosome 16 among progeny from a (CcS-7/Dem x BALB/c)F1 x BALB/c backcross. To test the susceptibility to radiation lymphomagenesis, we generated a genetic cross by...
متن کاملThe mouse deafness locus (dn) is associated with an inversion on chromosome 19.
Recombination data for the mouse deafness locus (dn) on chromosome 19 are consistent with the presence of an inversion for which one of the breakpoints is between D19Mit14 and D19Mit96, a distance of less than 226 kb. Fluorescence in situ hybridization studies using a bacterial artificial chromosome on interphase (G1) nuclei provide additional support for the presence of an inversion. The dn ge...
متن کاملCX3CR1-dependent subretinal microglia cell accumulation is associated with cardinal features of age-related macular degeneration.
The role of retinal microglial cells (MCs) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is unclear. Here we demonstrated that all retinal MCs express CX3C chemokine receptor 1 (CX3CR1) and that homozygosity for the CX3CR1 M280 allele, which is associated with impaired cell migration, increases the risk of AMD. In humans with AMD, MCs accumulated in the subretinal space at sites of retinal degenera...
