Applied genetics for the practicing optometrist. Part II

R D Newcomb, R T Jose

    Journal of the American Optometric Association
    |May 1, 1977

    Summary

    This guide explores genetic inheritance patterns in ocular anomalies, focusing on non-Mendelian transmission forms. Understanding these patterns aids eye care professionals in diagnosing and managing ophthalmic conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Genetics

    Background:

    • Part I discussed basic single gene inheritance modes and related ocular anomalies.
    • This article, Part II, continues the discussion on genetic transmission.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To familiarize practicing optometrists (O.D.) with various genetic inheritance patterns.
    • To provide examples of ocular anomalies associated with different transmission forms.

    Main Methods:

    • Discussion of non-Mendelian inheritance patterns.
    • Presentation of characteristic ocular anomalies for each pattern.

    Main Results:

    • Ocular anomalies can follow various complex inheritance patterns beyond simple Mendelian modes.
    • Examples of specific ocular conditions linked to these transmission forms are provided.

    Conclusions:

    • This guide serves as an introduction to complex genetic inheritance in ophthalmology.
    • Further reading is recommended for comprehensive understanding of ophthalmic genetics.
