Reticular pseudodrusen: a tale of two species?
1The Mayo Clinic, Department of Ophthalmology, Rochester, MN 55905, USA.
Introduction:
The anatomic localization of reticular pseudodrusen (RPD) has been an important area of research study.
Methods:
A multimodal imaging analysis was conducted of two patients who were classified as having presumed RPD.
Results:
Analysis of case 1 lends credence to original histopathologic evidence suggesting a choroidal origin of RPD, and analysis of case 2 supports RPD as originating above the RPE.
Conclusion:
This case series demonstrates that RPD may represent a compilation of diseases rather than one distinct clinical entity.

Testing a Claim about Mean: Unknown Population SD
Estimating a population mean requires the samples to be approximately normally distributed. The data should be collected from the randomly selected samples having no sampling bias. There is no specific requirement for sample size. But if the sample size is less than 30, and we don't know the population standard deviation, a different approach is used; instead...
Gene Duplication and Divergence
The duplicated copies of the gene are called Paralogs. Paralogs with similar sequences and functions form a gene family. Across several species, a large number of gene families are characterized.
