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,...

Summary

A 30-year-old patient with 8 years of progressive vision loss was diagnosed with juvenile retinoschisis. Diagnostic imaging and electroretinogram confirmed the condition, revealing cystoid maculopathy.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Diseases

Background:

  • Progressive visual acuity loss over 8 years in a 30-year-old patient.
  • Initial diagnosis remained inconclusive despite comprehensive ophthalmologic examination.

Observation:

  • Cystoid maculopathy with stellate striation observed in both eyes.
  • Fluorescein angiography showed no contrast leakage in the foveal region.
  • Optical coherence tomography revealed cysts and increased foveal thickness.

Findings:

  • Diagnostic findings suggested juvenile retinoschisis.
  • Electroretinogram was crucial for confirming the diagnosis of juvenile retinoschisis.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of advanced imaging and electroretinography in diagnosing retinal conditions.
  • Emphasizes the diagnostic challenges and eventual confirmation of juvenile retinoschisis.
