Download or read book Genetics in Ophthalmology written by B. Wissinger and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this publication is to enhance mutual understanding and communication between ophthalmologists, molecular geneticists, genetic counselors and biomedical researchers. In the introductory chapter, current genetic paradigms and experimental genetic approaches relevant to the nature of hereditary disorders are discussed. The following contribution on the epidemiology of hereditary ocular disorders provides an excellent reference to geneticists as well as clinicians. Myopia is presented as an example of a complex clinical phenotype where genes and environment interact. Further molecular ophthalmogenetic topics, such as corneal dystrophies, cataract, glaucoma, opticus neuropathy, non-syndromic and syndromic pigmentary retinopathies, defects of vitamin A metabolism and macular dystrophies including age-related macular degeneration, are investigated in depth. The volume concludes with a survey of color vision deficiencies, a discussion of animal models and gene therapy, and a useful description of technical devices supporting patients who are losing sight.

Download or read book A Compendium of Inherited Disorders and the Eye written by Elias I. Traboulsi M.D. and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-12-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past two decades, our understanding of the molecular genetics of inherited eye diseases, their classification, and management has undergone a huge expansion as the field of human genetics has benefited from technological advances and increased interest by physicians and scientists in all fields. As a result, the amount of clinical and basic-science information on inherited systemic and eye diseases has become so large that general ophthalmologists, ophthalmic subspecialists, and physicians in other fields have found it difficult to keep up. This volume will act as a guide because it catalogues all the latest information about genetic diseases that involve the eye and presents it in a practical and accessible format. After an introductory chapter that reviews basic clinical and molecular-genetic principles, individual diseases and groups of diseases are listed alphabetically in order to make it as easy as possible to search for an entry. The material in each entry is a synthesis of numerous articles and reviews on the topic, accompanied by at least one high-quality illustration, at least one webpage of a patient support group or other organization related to the disease, and references that provide the original description of the disease, an excellent review, or useful illustrations. There is also a companion website containing electronic copies of all the illustrations to make it easy to use them in lectures. Health-care professionals who need immediate access to clinical and basic-science information on inherited systemic and eye diseases will find this volume indispensable.

Download or read book From Genes to Vision written by Javier and published by . This book was released on 2023-11-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fascinating world of ophthalmology, understanding genetic inheritance patterns is crucial for unraveling the mysteries of vision. In this subchapter, we will delve into the intricate mechanisms that govern the transmission of genes related to eye diseases and traits. By comprehending these patterns, students like you can gain a deeper understanding of how genetics influences ophthalmic conditions, paving the way for future breakthroughs in this field. One of the fundamental concepts in genetic inheritance is the distinction between dominant and recessive traits. Dominant traits are those that are expressed even if an individual carries only one copy of the gene responsible for that trait. On the other hand, recessive traits require two copies of the gene to be present for the trait to manifest. Understanding this distinction helps us predict the likelihood of certain eye diseases and traits appearing in individuals and their offspring. Another critical aspect of genetic inheritance is the concept of genetic carriers. Carriers are individuals who possess a recessive gene for a particular trait but do not exhibit any symptoms themselves. This is particularly relevant in ophthalmology, as carriers can unknowingly pass on these genes to their children. By understanding carrier status and inheritance patterns, we can identify individuals who may carry a genetic predisposition to certain eye diseases. Inheritance patterns in ophthalmology can also be influenced by gender. For instance, X-linked inheritance is a pattern in which genes located on the X chromosome are primarily responsible for the development of certain eye conditions. Since males have one X and one Y chromosome, they are more susceptible to X-linked diseases. Females, on the other hand, have two X chromosomes, providing some level of protection against X-linked conditions. Furthermore, genetic inheritance patterns can be further complicated by the phenomenon of genetic mutations. Mutations can occur spontaneously or be inherited from parents and can alter the function of certain genes, leading to the development of eye diseases. By studying these mutations, scientists can gain insights into the underlying causes of these conditions and potentially develop targeted treatments.
