چکیده
Methods: High-resolution macular images were obtained by adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy and spectral domain optical coherence tomography in 3 patients with USH3 and were compared with those of age-similar control subjects. Vision function measures included best-corrected visual acuity, kinetic and static perimetry, and full-field electroretinography. Coding regions of the CLRN1 gene were sequenced.

Novel Bi-allelic PDE6C Variant Leads to Congenital Achromatopsia
Background: The clinical phenotyping of patients with achromatopsia harboring variants in phosphordiesterase 6C (PDE6C) has poorly been described in the literature. PDE6C encodes the catalytic subunit of the cone phosphodiesterase, which hydrolyzes the cyclic guanosine monophosphate that proceeds with the hyperpolarization of photoreceptor cell membranes, as the final step of the phototransduct...
متن کاملGenes - they never go out of fashion!
Genetics in general and more specifically ophthalmic genetics are areas that ophthalmologists tend not to focus too much on – during training and in practice. Undergraduate medical training and ophthalmology residency in India traditionally place more emphasis on diagnostic and surgical skills rather than other areas such as genetic analysis and genetic counseling. This is surprising considerin...
متن کاملImmune protective mechanism of rMOMP protein ophthalmic vaccine regarding intraocular hypertension and retinal optic nerve injury in rats.
The aim of this study was to explore the immune protective mechanism of rMOMP protein vaccine in intraocular hypertension and retinal optic nerve injury in rats. The rMOMP protein ophthalmic vaccine was prepared and quality-controlled. Sixty normal adult SD rats were randomly divided into two groups to establish a chronic ocular hypertension model and an optic nerve injury model. The model rats...
متن کاملA novel deletion at codon 441 of the APC gene associated with ophthalmic lesions (CHRPE) in a South African family.
A novel mutation at codon 441 in exon 10 of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene was identified in a South African family of mixed ancestry, using a convenient, non-radioactive, heteroduplex-SSCP screening assay. This single thymidine deletion after nucleotide position 1322 creates a frameshift resulting in a downstream stop codon at amino acid residue 453 of the APC gene. Genotypes of nin...
متن کاملeyeGENE(R): a novel approach to combine clinical testing and researching genetic ocular disease.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Molecular genetics is revolutionizing the diagnosis and treatment of inherited eye diseases. The National Eye Institute of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), in an effort to facilitate future basic and clinical research in inherited eye disease, created The National Ophthalmic Disease Genotyping and Phenotyping Network (eyeGENE). This review describes the process and uti...
