Abstract:
Two cases of rubeolic pigmentary retinopathy with multiples anomalies at congener eye are presented. Both two cases present at congener eye microphthalmos and congenital cataract with uveitis in the first case and convergent strabismus and retard psychomotor in the second case. The retinal lesions are disseminated in all retinal surface in one observation, and only in the temporal retinal area in the second one. These retinal lesions associated with other ocular anomalies are characteristic for rubeolic etiology.

The retina is a layer of nervous tissue at the back of the eye that transduces light into neural signals. This process, called phototransduction, is carried out by rod and cone photoreceptor cells in the back of the retina.

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,...
