Homozygosity Mapping and Targeted Sanger Sequencing Identifies Three Novel CRB1 (Cumbs homologue 1) Mutations in Iranian Retinal Degeneration Families
Background: Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are a group of genetic disorders with high degrees of clinical, genetic and allelic heterogeneity. IRDs generally show progressive retinal cell death resulting in gradual vision loss. IRDs constitute a broad spectrum of disorders including retinitis pigmentosa and Leber congenital amaurosis. In this study, we performed genotyping studies to identify...
متن کاملClinical and molecular characterization of females affected by X-linked retinoschisis.
BACKGROUND X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) is a leading cause of juvenile macular degeneration associated with mutations in the RS1 gene. XLRS has a variable expressivity in males and shows no clinical phenotype in carrier females. DESIGN Clinical and molecular characterization of male and female individuals affected with XLRS in a consanguineous family. PARTICIPANTS Consanguineous Eastern Eu...
متن کاملEstablishment and evolution of the Australian Inherited Retinal Disease Register and DNA Bank.
BACKGROUND Inherited retinal disease represents a significant cause of blindness and visual morbidity worldwide. With the development of emerging molecular technologies, accessible and well-governed repositories of data characterising inherited retinal disease patients is becoming increasingly important. This manuscript introduces such a repository. DESIGN Participants were recruited from the...
متن کاملGene and cell-based therapies for inherited retinal disorders: An update.
Retinal degenerations present a unique challenge as disease progression is irreversible and the retina has little regenerative potential. No current treatments for inherited retinal disease have the ability to reverse blindness, and current dietary supplement recommendations only delay disease progression with varied results. However, the retina is anatomically accessible and capable of being m...
متن کاملContributions of genetics to our understanding of inherited monogenic retinal diseases and age-related macular degeneration.
Molecular genetics has contributed greatly to our understanding of inherited ocular disease. Prior to the development of recombinant DNA technology, basic and clinical scientists were limited to a description and classification of phenotypes based on morphology, biochemistry, and physiology. Progress was severely hampered by the dearth of genetic information. The pace of progress accelerated in...
