Progressive Pathways in Age-Related Macular Degeneration, photoreceptor cell loss. No current therapy halts vision loss. Numerous genetic and/or environmental factors likely contribute to the initiating events leading to AMD. Progressive events from cellular dysfunction and tissue destruction result in the histopathological features of AMD including druse

The Cellular Function of the Usher Gene Product Myosin VIIa is Specified by Its Ligands,Charles Usher (Usher, 1914), is the most common hereditary form of combined blind-and deafness (~ 50% of cases in the developed countries). USH designates a group of clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorders with hearing loss and retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Three different USH types (USH1, 2

Children with USH1 are born profoundly deaf, and then begin to lose their sight as a result of retinitis pigmentosa usually in their second decade of life. Mutations in at least seven different genes can cause USHI. Four of these have now been identified. The most common f

Identification of the RP1 and RP10 (IMPDH1) Genes Causing Autosomal Dominant RP,these two genes, contrastingthe similar approaches to identifying the genes and mutations with the dissimilar strategies for functional analysis. In microcosm, this serves as a reminder that retinal disease genes associated with similar clinical phenotypes may have very different biological roles.
