The Retinoblastoma Gene01:20

The Retinoblastoma Gene

Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

Diabetic Retinopathy

DefinitionDiabetic retinopathy is a microvascular complication of diabetes affecting the retinal blood vessels.Risk FactorsDiabetic retinopathy is present in almost all individuals with type 1 diabetes and more than 60% of those with type 2 diabetes after two decades of disease.The risk increases with poor glycemic control, hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, pregnancy, and puberty.Although cataracts and glaucoma are also more frequent in people with diabetes, retinopathy remains the leading...

Summary

A new classification system for congenital X-linked retinoschisis (CXLRS) was developed using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and clinical exams. OCT revealed lamellar schisis in 82% of eyes, aiding in a better understanding of CXLRS disease.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Genetics
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Congenital X-linked retinoschisis (CXLRS) is a genetic retinal disorder.
  • Accurate classification is crucial for understanding CXLRS progression and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a novel classification system for CXLRS.
  • To integrate clinical examination findings with optical coherence tomography (OCT) data.

Main Methods:

  • Thirty-eight eyes from 19 patients diagnosed with CXLRS underwent clinical examination and OCT.
  • Eyes were categorized into four types based on combined clinical and OCT findings.

Main Results:

  • Foveal schisis was present in 97% of eyes.
  • Lamellar schisis, deeper than the nerve fiber layer in normal-appearing maculae, was found in 82% of eyes.
  • Peripheral bullous schisis cavities were observed in 79% of eyes.

Conclusions:

  • OCT is essential for identifying lamellar schisis, often missed by clinical examination alone.
  • The proposed classification system, incorporating foveal, lamellar, and peripheral schisis, enhances CXLRS diagnosis.
  • This system aims to improve understanding of CXLRS natural history and facilitate therapeutic research.
