Genetic Screens02:46

Genetic Screens

4.9K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Glaucoma: Overview01:25

Glaucoma: Overview

528
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...

Human Genetics

551
Human genetics provides a profound framework for understanding the interplay between genetic predispositions and human psychology. At the heart of this discipline lies the study of how genes influence physical traits, behaviors, and susceptibility to diseases. Each person carries a unique genetic code that subtly or significantly shapes their psychological and behavioral landscape.
The complex relationship between genetics and psychology is observable through common biological components such...

Incomplete Dominance01:43

Incomplete Dominance

22.2K
Gregor Mendel's work (1822 - 1884) was primarily focused on pea plants. Through his initial experiments, he determined that every gene in a diploid cell has two variants called alleles inherited from each parent. He suggested that amongst these two alleles, one allele is dominant in character and the other recessive. The combination of alleles determines the phenotype of a gene in an organism.

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS01:11

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

13.2K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Genetics
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Glaucoma is a highly heritable optic neuropathy.
  • Family history is a known risk factor, but not universally applicable for screening.
  • Advances in genetic research are crucial for understanding glaucoma's complex etiology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review 25 years of progress in glaucoma genetics.
  • To examine the identification of glaucoma-associated genes.
  • To discuss the development and refinement of polygenic risk scores for glaucoma.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of glaucoma genetics research over the past 2.5 decades.
  • Analysis of gene identification, from Mendelian to polygenic associations.
  • Evaluation of polygenic risk score development and ethnic applicability.

Main Results:

  • Hundreds of glaucoma-associated genes have been identified, evolving from Mendelian to complex inheritance patterns.
  • Polygenic risk scores have been developed, primarily in European populations, with ongoing refinement needed for broader ethnic groups.
  • Cascade genetic testing for genes like myocilin shows promise for improved glaucoma diagnosis.

Conclusions:

  • Refined polygenic risk scores will enhance early glaucoma diagnosis and treatment.
  • Equitable genetic research is essential to prevent global glaucoma blindness.
  • Further research is needed to optimize the clinical utility of genetic risk information for glaucoma.
