Diabetic Retinopathy

55
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...

The Retinoblastoma Gene01:20

The Retinoblastoma Gene

3.7K
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,...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Developmental Biology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Idiopathic infantile nystagmus (IIN) is a complex visual disorder often linked to FRMD7 mutations.
  • Previous research suggested IIN originates from abnormal cortical development due to normal retinal appearance on conventional imaging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of the afferent visual system in FRMD7-associated IIN.
  • To characterize the developmental expression of FRMD7 in the human retina and optic nerve.

Main Methods:

  • In situ hybridization on human embryonic/fetal tissues (35 days post-ovulation to 9 weeks post-conception).
  • Sequence analysis of FRMD7 in 100 IIN patients.
  • Ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging of FRMD7 mutation carriers (n=45) and controls (n=60).

Main Results:

  • FRMD7 exhibits dynamic retinal expression during development, including the neuroblastic layers, optic stalk, and optic disc.
  • FRMD7 mutations were identified in 45% of the IIN cohort.
  • OCT revealed significantly shallower foveal pits and abnormal optic nerve head morphology (decreased disk area, RNFL thickness, cup area/depth) in FRMD7 patients compared to controls.

Conclusions:

  • This study demonstrates that abnormal afferent visual system development is associated with FRMD7 mutations.
  • Altered retinal and optic nerve development may be a key etiological factor in FRMD7-related IIN.
