Optic Atrophy
Atrophy of the optic disk which may be congenital or acquired. This condition indicates a deficiency in the number of nerve fibers which arise in the RETINA and converge to form the OPTIC DISK; OPTIC NERVE; OPTIC CHIASM; and optic tracts. GLAUCOMA; ISCHEMIA; inflammation, a chronic elevation of intracranial pressure, toxins, optic nerve compression, and inherited conditions (see OPTIC ATROPHIES, HEREDITARY) are relatively common causes of this condition.
Optic Atrophy, Autosomal Dominant
Dominant optic atrophy is a hereditary optic neuropathy causing decreased visual acuity, color vision deficits, a centrocecal scotoma, and optic nerve pallor (Hum. Genet. 1998; 102: 79-86). Mutations leading to this condition have been mapped to the OPA1 gene at chromosome 3q28-q29. OPA1 codes for a dynamin-related GTPase that localizes to mitochondria.
Optic Atrophies, Hereditary
Hereditary conditions that feature progressive visual loss in association with optic atrophy. Relatively common forms include autosomal dominant optic atrophy (OPTIC ATROPHY, AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT) and Leber hereditary optic atrophy (OPTIC ATROPHY, HEREDITARY, LEBER).
Atrophy
Decrease in the size of a cell, tissue, organ, or multiple organs, associated with a variety of pathological conditions such as abnormal cellular changes, ischemia, malnutrition, or hormonal changes.
Optic Nerve
The 2nd cranial nerve which conveys visual information from the RETINA to the brain. The nerve carries the axons of the RETINAL GANGLION CELLS which sort at the OPTIC CHIASM and continue via the OPTIC TRACTS to the brain. The largest projection is to the lateral geniculate nuclei; other targets include the SUPERIOR COLLICULI and the SUPRACHIASMATIC NUCLEI. Though known as the second cranial nerve, it is considered part of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.
Wolfram Syndrome
A hereditary condition characterized by multiple symptoms including those of DIABETES INSIPIDUS; DIABETES MELLITUS; OPTIC ATROPHY; and DEAFNESS. This syndrome is also known as DIDMOAD (first letter of each word) and is usually associated with VASOPRESSIN deficiency. It is caused by mutations in gene WFS1 encoding wolframin, a 100-kDa transmembrane protein.
Optic Disk
The portion of the optic nerve seen in the fundus with the ophthalmoscope. It is formed by the meeting of all the retinal ganglion cell axons as they enter the optic nerve.
GTP Phosphohydrolases
Enzymes that hydrolyze GTP to GDP. EC 3.6.1.-.
Optic Atrophy, Hereditary, Leber
A maternally linked genetic disorder that presents in mid-life as acute or subacute central vision loss leading to central scotoma and blindness. The disease has been associated with missense mutations in the mtDNA, in genes for Complex I, III, and IV polypeptides, that can act autonomously or in association with each other to cause the disease. (from Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Omim/, MIM#535000 (April 17, 2001))
Muscular Atrophy
Derangement in size and number of muscle fibers occurring with aging, reduction in blood supply, or following immobilization, prolonged weightlessness, malnutrition, and particularly in denervation.
Optic Neuritis
Inflammation of the optic nerve. Commonly associated conditions include autoimmune disorders such as MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, infections, and granulomatous diseases. Clinical features include retro-orbital pain that is aggravated by eye movement, loss of color vision, and contrast sensitivity that may progress to severe visual loss, an afferent pupillary defect (Marcus-Gunn pupil), and in some instances optic disc hyperemia and swelling. Inflammation may occur in the portion of the nerve within the globe (neuropapillitis or anterior optic neuritis) or the portion behind the globe (retrobulbar neuritis or posterior optic neuritis).
Hereditary Sensory and Motor Neuropathy
A group of slowly progressive inherited disorders affecting motor and sensory peripheral nerves. Subtypes include HMSNs I-VII. HMSN I and II both refer to CHARCOT-MARIE-TOOTH DISEASE. HMSN III refers to hypertrophic neuropathy of infancy. HMSN IV refers to REFSUM DISEASE. HMSN V refers to a condition marked by a hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy associated with spastic paraplegia (see SPASTIC PARAPLEGIA, HEREDITARY). HMSN VI refers to HMSN associated with an inherited optic atrophy (OPTIC ATROPHIES, HEREDITARY), and HMSN VII refers to HMSN associated with retinitis pigmentosa. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1343)
Optic Chiasm
The X-shaped structure formed by the meeting of the two optic nerves. At the optic chiasm the fibers from the medial part of each retina cross to project to the other side of the brain while the lateral retinal fibers continue on the same side. As a result each half of the brain receives information about the contralateral visual field from both eyes.
Retinal Ganglion Cells
Neurons of the innermost layer of the retina, the internal plexiform layer. They are of variable sizes and shapes, and their axons project via the OPTIC NERVE to the brain. A small subset of these cells act as photoreceptors with projections to the SUPRACHIASMATIC NUCLEUS, the center for regulating CIRCADIAN RHYTHM.
Papilledema
Swelling of the OPTIC DISK, usually in association with increased intracranial pressure, characterized by hyperemia, blurring of the disk margins, microhemorrhages, blind spot enlargement, and engorgement of retinal veins. Chronic papilledema may cause OPTIC ATROPHY and visual loss. (Miller et al., Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmology, 4th ed, p175)
Pedigree
The record of descent or ancestry, particularly of a particular condition or trait, indicating individual family members, their relationships, and their status with respect to the trait or condition.
Optic Nerve Injuries
Injuries to the optic nerve induced by a trauma to the face or head. These may occur with closed or penetrating injuries. Relatively minor compression of the superior aspect of orbit may also result in trauma to the optic nerve. Clinical manifestations may include visual loss, PAPILLEDEMA, and an afferent pupillary defect.
Muscular Atrophy, Spinal
A group of disorders marked by progressive degeneration of motor neurons in the spinal cord resulting in weakness and muscular atrophy, usually without evidence of injury to the corticospinal tracts. Diseases in this category include Werdnig-Hoffmann disease and later onset SPINAL MUSCULAR ATROPHIES OF CHILDHOOD, most of which are hereditary. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1089)

Visual impairments limiting one or more of the basic functions of the eye: visual acuity, dark adaptation, color vision, or peripheral vision. These may result from EYE DISEASES; OPTIC NERVE DISEASES; VISUAL PATHWAY diseases; OCCIPITAL LOBE diseases; OCULAR MOTILITY DISORDERS; and other conditions (From Newell, Ophthalmology: Principles and Concepts, 7th ed, p132).
Visual Acuity
Clarity or sharpness of OCULAR VISION or the ability of the eye to see fine details. Visual acuity depends on the functions of RETINA, neuronal transmission, and the interpretative ability of the brain. Normal visual acuity is expressed as 20/20 indicating that one can see at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. Visual acuity can also be influenced by brightness, color, and contrast.

Double-stranded DNA of MITOCHONDRIA. In eukaryotes, the mitochondrial GENOME is circular and codes for ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, and about 10 proteins.
Blindness
The inability to see or the loss or absence of perception of visual stimuli. This condition may be the result of EYE DISEASES; OPTIC NERVE DISEASES; OPTIC CHIASM diseases; or BRAIN DISEASES affecting the VISUAL PATHWAYS or OCCIPITAL LOBE.
Onchocerciasis, Ocular
Filarial infection of the eyes transmitted from person to person by bites of Onchocerca volvulus-infected black flies. The microfilariae of Onchocerca are thus deposited beneath the skin. They migrate through various tissues including the eye. Those persons infected have impaired vision and up to 20% are blind. The incidence of eye lesions has been reported to be as high as 30% in Central America and parts of Africa.
Eye Diseases
Diseases affecting the eye.
Retina
The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the OPTIC NERVE and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the CHOROID and the inner surface with the VITREOUS BODY. The outer-most layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent.
Optic Lobe, Nonmammalian
In invertebrate zoology, a lateral lobe of the FOREBRAIN in certain ARTHROPODS. In vertebrate zoology, either of the corpora bigemina of non-mammalian VERTEBRATES. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed, p1329)
Optic Neuropathy, Ischemic
Ischemic injury to the OPTIC NERVE which usually affects the OPTIC DISK (optic neuropathy, anterior ischemic) and less frequently the retrobulbar portion of the nerve (optic neuropathy, posterior ischemic). The injury results from occlusion of arterial blood supply which may result from TEMPORAL ARTERITIS; ATHEROSCLEROSIS; COLLAGEN DISEASES; EMBOLISM; DIABETES MELLITUS; and other conditions. The disease primarily occurs in the sixth decade or later and presents with the sudden onset of painless and usually severe monocular visual loss. Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy also features optic disk edema with microhemorrhages. The optic disk appears normal in posterior ischemic optic neuropathy. (Glaser, Neuro-Ophthalmology, 2nd ed, p135)
Multiple System Atrophy
A syndrome complex composed of three conditions which represent clinical variants of the same disease process: STRIATONIGRAL DEGENERATION; SHY-DRAGER SYNDROME; and the sporadic form of OLIVOPONTOCEREBELLAR ATROPHIES. Clinical features include autonomic, cerebellar, and basal ganglia dysfunction. Pathologic examination reveals atrophy of the basal ganglia, cerebellum, pons, and medulla, with prominent loss of autonomic neurons in the brain stem and spinal cord. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1076; Baillieres Clin Neurol 1997 Apr;6(1):187-204; Med Clin North Am 1999 Mar;83(2):381-92)

Mitochondrial Diseases
Diseases caused by abnormal function of the MITOCHONDRIA. They may be caused by mutations, acquired or inherited, in mitochondrial DNA or in nuclear genes that code for mitochondrial components. They may also be the result of acquired mitochondria dysfunction due to adverse effects of drugs, infections, or other environmental causes.
Diabetes Insipidus
A disease that is characterized by frequent urination, excretion of large amounts of dilute URINE, and excessive THIRST. Etiologies of diabetes insipidus include deficiency of antidiuretic hormone (also known as ADH or VASOPRESSIN) secreted by the NEUROHYPOPHYSIS, impaired KIDNEY response to ADH, and impaired hypothalamic regulation of thirst.

Pathologically, the dentate nucleus and brachium conjunctivum of the CEREBELLUM are atrophic, with variable involvement of the spinal cord, cerebellar cortex, and basal ganglia. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1991, Ch37, pp60-1)
Vision, Low
Vision considered to be inferior to normal vision as represented by accepted standards of acuity, field of vision, or motility. Low vision generally refers to visual disorders that are caused by diseases that cannot be corrected by refraction (e.g., MACULAR DEGENERATION; RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA; DIABETIC RETINOPATHY, etc.).

(From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p90)
Color Vision Defects
Defects of color vision are mainly hereditary traits but can be secondary to acquired or developmental abnormalities in the CONES (RETINA). Severity of hereditary defects of color vision depends on the degree of mutation of the ROD OPSINS genes (on X CHROMOSOME and CHROMOSOME 3) that code the photopigments for red, green and blue.

Evoked Potentials, Visual
The electric response evoked in the cerebral cortex by visual stimulation or stimulation of the visual pathways.
Mitochondria
Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes. (King & Stansfield, A Dictionary of Genetics, 4th ed)

DNA Mutational Analysis
Biochemical identification of mutational changes in a nucleotide sequence.
Codon, Nonsense
An amino acid-specifying codon that has been converted to a stop codon (CODON, TERMINATOR) by mutation. Its occurance is abnormal causing premature termination of protein translation and results in production of truncated and non-functional proteins. A nonsense mutation is one that converts an amino acid-specific codon to a stop codon.
Optic Nerve Diseases
Conditions which produce injury or dysfunction of the second cranial or optic nerve, which is generally considered a component of the central nervous system. Damage to optic nerve fibers may occur at or near their origin in the retina, at the optic disk, or in the nerve, optic chiasm, optic tract, or lateral geniculate nuclei. Clinical manifestations may include decreased visual acuity and contrast sensitivity, impaired color vision, and an afferent pupillary defect.
Olivopontocerebellar Atrophies

Additional clinical features may include MUSCLE RIGIDITY; NYSTAGMUS, PATHOLOGIC; RETINAL DEGENERATION; MUSCLE SPASTICITY; DEMENTIA; URINARY INCONTINENCE; and OPHTHALMOPLEGIA. The familial form has an earlier onset (second decade) and may feature spinal cord atrophy. The sporadic form tends to present in the fifth or sixth decade, and is considered a clinical subtype of MULTIPLE SYSTEM ATROPHY. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1085)
Consanguinity
The magnitude of INBREEDING in humans.
Genetic Heterogeneity
The presence of apparently similar characters for which the genetic evidence indicates that different genes or different genetic mechanisms are involved in different pedigrees. In clinical settings genetic heterogeneity refers to the presence of a variety of genetic defects which cause the same disease, often due to mutations at different loci on the same gene, a finding common to many human diseases including ALZHEIMER DISEASE; CYSTIC FIBROSIS; LIPOPROTEIN LIPASE DEFICIENCY, FAMILIAL; and POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASES. (Rieger, et al., Glossary of Genetics: Classical and Molecular, 5th ed; Segen, Dictionary of Modern Medicine, 1992)

The enzyme was formerly listed as EC 1.6.2.1.
Leigh Disease
A group of metabolic disorders primarily of infancy characterized by the subacute onset of psychomotor retardation, hypotonia, ataxia, weakness, vision loss, eye movement abnormalities, seizures, dysphagia, and lactic acidosis. Pathological features include spongy degeneration of the neuropile of the basal ganglia, thalamus, brain stem, and spinal cord. Patterns of inheritance include X-linked recessive, autosomal recessive, and mitochondrial. Leigh disease has been associated with mutations in genes for the PYRUVATE DEHYDROGENASE COMPLEX; CYTOCHROME-C OXIDASE; ATP synthase subunit 6; and subunits of mitochondrial complex I.

Chromosomes, Human, Pair 3
A specific pair of human chromosomes in group A (CHROMOSOMES, HUMAN, 1-3) of the human chromosome classification.
Genetic Linkage
The co-inheritance of two or more non-allelic GENES due to their being located more or less closely on the same CHROMOSOME.
Founder Effect
A phenomenon that is observed when a small subgroup of a larger POPULATION establishes itself as a separate and isolated entity. The subgroup's GENE POOL carries only a fraction of the genetic diversity of the parental population resulting in an increased frequency of certain diseases in the subgroup, especially those diseases known to be autosomal recessive.
Neurodegenerative Diseases
Hereditary and sporadic conditions which are characterized by progressive nervous system dysfunction. These disorders are often associated with atrophy of the affected central or peripheral nervous system structures.
Intellectual Disability
Subnormal intellectual functioning which originates during the developmental period. This has multiple potential etiologies, including genetic defects and perinatal insults. Intelligence quotient (IQ) scores are commonly used to determine whether an individual has an intellectual disability. IQ scores between 70 and 79 are in the borderline range. Scores below 67 are in the disabled range. (from Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1992, Ch55, p28)
Geographic Atrophy
A form of MACULAR DEGENERATION also known as dry macular degeneration marked by occurrence of a well-defined progressive lesion or atrophy in the central part of the RETINA called the MACULA LUTEA. It is distinguishable from WET MACULAR DEGENERATION in that the latter involves neovascular exudates.
Disease Models, Animal

A mother and daughter are reported with bilateral optic atrophy with onset in infancy and unilateral facial palsy. This appears to be a novel autosomal dominant disorder.  (+info)

Vitreopapillary traction in proliferative diabetic vitreoretinopathy [ssee comments]. (2/192)

AIM: To present the clinical profile of a new entity in advanced proliferative diabetic vitreoretinopathy (PDVR). Mechanisms of vision loss due to vitreopapillary traction on the nasal optic disc are described, followed by an introduction of methods for prevention and treatment in such cases. METHODS: 17 patients with PDVR and traction on the nasal side of the optic disc, pallor of the optic nerve head, and reduced visual acuity were included in the study. Six patients were observed retrospectively and 11 patients prospectively before and after pars plana vitrectomy. Pre- and postoperative examinations included visual acuity, Goldmann's visual field, fluorescein angiography, and measurements of visual evoked potentials (VEP). RESULTS: During a postoperative follow up period of 3 to 24.5 months (mean 14.5 months) an improvement in optic disc appearance combined with an increased visual acuity (mean increase in VA = 0.171) was observed in 15/17 (88.3%) patients. In addition, 8/17 (47%) of these patients showed higher VEP amplitudes (mean 3.83 microV), and eight (6/8 of the same patients as VEP amplitudes) patients showed a reduction of latency (mean reduction 22.25 ms) during VEP assessment. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that vitreopapillary traction may damage the anterior optic nerve, via decreased axoplasmatic flow in the optic nerve fibres and/or mechanical reduction of perfusion in the posterior ciliary arteries. The effects of each mechanism appear to be reversible, but in the long term might lead to irreversible optic nerve atrophy. Therefore, in patients with vitreopapillary traction, early vitrectomy should be considered as a method to prevent optic neuropathy.  (+info)

Follow up of focal narrowing of retinal arterioles in glaucoma. (3/192)

AIM: To evaluate whether focal narrowing of retinal arterioles increases with progressive glaucomatous optic neuropathy. METHODS: Focal narrowing of retinal arterioles and area of neuroretinal rim were morphometrically evaluated on colour stereo optic disc photographs of 59 patients with primary open angle glaucoma, 22 patients with normal pressure glaucoma, 11 patients with secondary open angle glaucoma, and 31 patients with ocular hypertension. Minimum follow up was 8 months. Focal arteriolar narrowing was quantified by calculating the ratio of the vessel width in the broadest to the narrowest vessel part. RESULTS: In the subgroup of patients with progressive glaucomatous optic nerve damage (n = 37), focal narrowing of retinal arterioles increased significantly (p < 0.005) with decreasing neuroretinal rim area. In the subgroup of patients with stable appearance of the optic disc (n = 86), focal narrowing of retinal arterioles did not change significantly (p = 0.79). The positive correlation between increasing focal thinning of retinal arterioles and progression of glaucomatous optic neuropathy was present, although not statistically significant, in all the glaucoma subtypes examined. The location of focal thinning of retinal arterioles did not change in the follow up. CONCLUSIONS: Focal narrowing of retinal arterioles increases significantly with progressive glaucomatous optic neuropathy, independent of the type of glaucoma. It is stable in patients with non-progressive glaucoma. The findings agree with previous reports on a higher degree of focal arteriole narrowing in eyes with pronounced optic nerve damage in comparison with those with moderate optic nerve atrophy or normal eyes. In the clinical management of patients with glaucoma, in some eyes, increasing focal arteriole narrowing may suggest progression of disease.  (+info)

Microcephaly, microphthalmia, congenital cataract, optic atrophy, short stature, hypotonia, severe psychomotor retardation, and cerebral malformations: a second family with micro syndrome or a new syndrome? (4/192)

We report on four children of both sexes from a highly inbred family with hypotonia, spastic diplegia, microcephaly, microphthalmia, congenital cataract, optic atrophy, ptosis, kyphoscoliosis, short stature, severe mental retardation, and cerebral malformations. Six other children may also have been affected. The differential diagnosis and the possibility of a second family with the micro syndrome are discussed.  (+info)

Persistence of tropical ataxic neuropathy in a Nigerian community. (5/192)

OBJECTIVES: The term tropical ataxic neuropathy (TAN) is currently used to describe several neurological syndromes attributed to toxiconutritional causes. However, TAN was initially proposed to describe a specific neurological syndrome seen predominantly among the Ijebu speaking Yorubas in south western Nigeria. In this study, the prevalence of TAN was determined in Ososa, a semiurban community in south western Nigeria described as endemic for TAN in 1969, and its neurological features were compared with Strachan's syndrome, prisoners of war neuropathy, the epidemic neuropathy in Cuba, and konzo. METHODS: A census of Ososa was followed by door to door screening of all subjects aged 10 years and above with a newly designed screening instrument. Subjects who screened positive had a neurological examination, and the diagnosis of TAN was made if any two or more of bilateral optic atrophy, bilateral neurosensory deafness, sensory gait ataxia, or distal symmetric sensory polyneuropathy were present. RESULTS: A total of 4583 inhabitants were registered in the census. Of these, 3428 subjects aged 10 years and above were screened. The diagnosis of TAN was made in 206 of 323 subjects who screened positive for TAN. The prevalence of TAN was 6. 0%, 3.9% in males and 7.7% in females. The highest age specific prevalence was 24% in the 60-69 years age group in women. CONCLUSION: The occurrence of TAN in Ososa continues at a higher prevalence than was reported 30 years ago. Its neurological features and natural history do not resemble those described for Strachan syndrome, epidemic neuropathy in Cuba, or konzo. The increasing consumption of cassava foods linked to its causation makes TAN of public health importance in Nigeria, the most populous African country.  (+info)

A de novo missense mutation in a critical domain of the X-linked DDP gene causes the typical deafness-dystonia-optic atrophy syndrome. (6/192)

We report the first de novo mutation in the DDP gene in a Dutch 11-year-old boy with deafness and dystonia. Previously reported mutations in the DDP gene have all been frameshifts/nonsense mutations or deletion of the entire gene as part of a larger deletion encompassing the BTK gene. The clinical presentation was uniformly characterised by sensorineural hearing loss, dystonia, mental deterioration, paranoid psychotic features, and optic atrophy, indicating progressive neurodegeneration. Our report illustrates that de novo mutations occur and that a missense mutation, C66W, may cause an equally severe clinical picture. The diagnosis of sensorineural hearing impairment associated with neurologic and visual disability in a male, therefore, should encourage the search for mutations in the DDP gene, even in sporadic cases. The association of deafness-dystonia syndrome with a missense mutation provides valuable information for in vitro investigations of the functional properties of the deafness-dystonia peptide which was recently shown to be the human homolog of a yeast protein, Tim8p, belonging to a family of small Tim proteins involved in intermembrane protein transport in mitochondria.  (+info)

Prolapsing gyrus rectus as a cause of progressive optic neuropathy. (7/192)

The pathogenesis of optic neuropathy caused by neurovascular compression or by similar mechanisms is unclear. Thin-slice magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was performed in 69 patients with optic neuropathy without demonstrable ophthalmological lesions (57.0 +/- 17.1 years of age) and 102 normal subjects (57.7 +/- 13.9 years of age). The MR imaging features were classified into "no compression" by the internal carotid artery (ICA), "compression" by the ICA, "no contact" with the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) or the gyrus rectus, "contact" with either or both, "compression" by the ACA, and "compression" by the gyrus rectus. The Spearman correlation coefficients were calculated between patients or controls, the MR classification, and the age, and the number of patients in each MR classification were evaluated by the chi 2 test. Five of the 69 patients with rapidly progressive symptoms were operated on via the frontotemporal approach. The MR imaging feature of "compression" by the gyrus rectus was the best predictor of optic neuropathy (Spearman correlation coefficients rho = -0.23646, p < 0.0018). This MR imaging feature was observed in 38 of 69 patients and in 32 of 102 controls (p = 0.002). Compression of the nerve by the gyrus rectus or the ACA was confirmed in all five operated cases. Decompression of the nerve was fully achieved in four of the five patients, and their symptoms have not progressed since then. Optic neuropathies due to compression by the prolapsing gyrus rectus are not well understood. Such neuropathies may be detected by MR imaging.  (+info)

Influence of experimental chronic high-pressure glaucoma on age-related macular degeneration in rhesus monkeys. (8/192)

PURPOSE: To assess prospectively whether development of age-related macular degeneration is influenced by experimentally induced chronic high-pressure glaucoma, and whether age-related macular degeneration influences the appearance of the optic nerve head in experimental chronic high-pressure glaucoma in older rhesus monkeys. METHODS: The longitudinal study included 102 eyes of 52 rhesus monkeys. The total study group was divided into a group with experimentally induced unilateral chronic high-pressure glaucoma (n = 40 eyes) and a normal control group (n = 62 eyes). Additionally, arterial hypertension and atherosclerosis were experimentally induced in both study groups in a similar percentage of monkeys. Mean monkey age at the end of the study was 19.6 +/- 3.1 years (range, 13-24 years). The macular region, optic disc, and retinal nerve fiber layer were morphometrically evaluated by color wide-angle fundus photographs taken at baseline and at the end of the study. RESULTS: The degree of age-related macular degeneration, measured as number and area of drusen in the foveal and extrafoveal region of the macula, did not differ significantly between the two study groups. In the glaucomatous group, the degree of macular degeneration was statistically independent of the development of parapapillary atrophy, loss of neuroretinal rim, and decrease in the visibility of the retinal nerve fiber layer. CONCLUSIONS: Development of age-related macular degeneration in rhesus monkeys is independent of concomitant chronic high-pressure glaucoma, including the development of glaucomatous parapapillary chorioretinal atrophy. Conversely, age-related macular degeneration does not markedly influence the course of experimental chronic high-pressure glaucoma or the development of parapapillary atrophy in monkeys.  (+info)

Optic Nerve Atrophy - Eyes 4 KidsOptic Nerve Atrophy - Eyes 4 Kids
What is the optic nerve?. The optic nerve is in the center of the retina and is a circular to oval pinkish area measuring 1.5 to 2 mm in diameter. From the center of the nerve radiate the major blood vessels of the retina. The optic nerve itself carries over one million nerves that connect the retina ((the layer of the eye that carries the vision cells) with the occipital lobe (the part of the brain that interprets vision) like a cable wire.. What is optic nerve atrophy?. Optic nerve atrophy (ONA) is mild to severe damage to the optic nerve that can adversely affect central vision, peripheral vision and color vision. ONA that occurs as a child may result in nystagmus (rhythmic involuntary eye movements).. What causes optic nerve atrophy?. ONA causes include: tumor, trauma, decreased blood supply (ischemia) or oxygen supply (hypoxia) causing swelling, heredity, hydrocephalus, toxins, infection, and rare degenerative disorders. Onset can be from birth through adulthood.. How is optic nerve atrophy ...

A homozygous RAB3GAP2 mutation causes Warburg Micro syndrome | Read by QxMDA homozygous RAB3GAP2 mutation causes Warburg Micro syndrome | Read by QxMD
Warburg Micro syndrome and Martsolf syndrome are clinically overlapping autosomal recessive conditions characterized by congenital cataracts, microphthalmia, postnatal microcephaly, and developmental delay. The neurodevelopmental and ophthalmological phenotype is more severe in Warburg Micro syndrome in which cerebral malformations and severe motor and mental retardation are common. While biallelic loss-of-function mutations in RAB3GAP1 are present in the majority of patients with Warburg Micro syndrome; a hypomorphic homozygous splicing mutation of RAB3GAP2 has been reported in a single family with Martsolf syndrome. Here, we report a novel homozygous RAB3GAP2 small in-frame deletion, c.499_507delTTCTACACT (p.Phe167_Thr169del) that causes Warburg Micro syndrome in a girl from a consanguineous Turkish family presenting with congenital cataracts, microphthalmia, absent visually evoked potentials, microcephaly, polymicrogyria, hypoplasia of the corpus callosum, and severe developmental delay. No ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Warburg Micro syndrome is caused by RAB18 deficiency or dysregulation. AU - Handley, Mark T.. AU - Carpanini, Sarah. AU - Mali, Girish. AU - Sidjanin, Duska J.. AU - Aligianis, Irene A.. AU - Jackson, Ian J.. AU - Fitzpatrick, David R.. N1 - MRC. PY - 2015/6/1. Y1 - 2015/6/1. N2 - RAB18, RAB3GAP1, RAB3GAP2 and TBC1D20 are each mutated in Warburg Micro syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive multisystem disorder. RAB3GAP1 and RAB3GAP2 form a binary RAB3GAP complex that functions as a guanine-nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for RAB18, whereas TBC1D20 shows modest RAB18 GTPase-activating (GAP) activity in vitro. Here, we show that in the absence of functional RAB3GAP or TBC1D20, the level, localization and dynamics of cellular RAB18 is altered. In cell lines where TBC1D20 is absent from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), RAB18 becomes more stably ER-associated and less cytosolic than in control cells. These data suggest that RAB18 is a physiological substrate of TBC1D20 and contribute ...

Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Optic Nerve Atrophy: A Novel Therapeutic Approach | MedCraveMesenchymal Stem Cells in Optic Nerve Atrophy: A Novel Therapeutic Approach | MedCrave
Optic nerve atrophy (ONA) is characterized by mild to severe damage to the optic nerve that can adversely affect central vision, peripheral vision and colour vision. Optic nerve disease is complicated and there are a number of pathophysiologic mechanisms that can lead to retinal ganglion cell impairment or death. ONA is associated with myriad causes including tumour, trauma, glaucoma, ischemia, heredity, hydrocephalus, toxins, infection and some rare degenerative disorders. Clinically, the neuroprotective or exogenic therapies that restore lost visual system connectivity in retinal degenerative disease are non-existent and translatable techniques for the replacement of lost retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and photoreceptors are in their infancy [1]. Stem cell therapies are being explored extensively as treatments for degenerative eye disease, either for replacing lost neurons or for restoring neural circuits. Recent evidence suggests stem cell-derived trophic factors protect compromised endogenous ...

Purpose : To evaluate the association between RNFL-VD measurement and PPA area and the impact of PPA on RNFL-VD measurement in glaucoma evaluation. Methods : 157 eyes from 50 healthy individuals and 107 primary open angle glaucoma patients had parapapillary RNFL-VD and circumpapillary RNFL thickness (cpRNFLT) measured with a swept-source OCT (Triton OCT, Japan) and visual field measured with standard automated perimetry. Glaucoma was defined as having a narrowed rim/thinned RNFL with corresponding visual field defects. The PPA area was measured from the OCT enface images with reference to the optic disc photographs (Fig.1). Eyes with spherical equivalent of ,-6 diopters were excluded. The associations among RNFL-VD, cpRNFLT, visual field and other ocular parameters were analyzed with linear regression modeling. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC) of RNFL-VD and cpRNFLT for detection of glaucoma was compared between the groups with and without PPA. Results : 13 (26.0%) ...

Purpose : Additional diagnostic testing is indicated when a comprehensive patient history and exam fails to determine the etiology of optic atrophy. Currently, a review of literature reveals limited evidence describing the appropriate diagnostic algorithm and its yield in the workup of optic atrophy except for one study conducted in a primarily Caucasian population. We performed a retrospective chart review to report the etiologies of optic atrophy in an inner city, primarily a Hispanic and African American community, and to describe the utility of diagnostic testing in the evaluation of isolated optic atrophy. This is, to our knowledge, the first study conducted in a tertiary care center focusing on patients of African American and Hispanic descent. Methods : A retrospective chart review of all patients with a diagnosis of optic atrophy seen in the neuro-ophthalmology clinic at Bronx Lebanon Hospital Center between January 2011 and November 2016. All patients were assessed for an etiologic ...

Optic Atrophy - EyeWikiOptic Atrophy - EyeWiki
Optic atrophy refers to the death of the retinal ganglion cell axons that comprise the optic nerve with the resulting picture of a pale optic nerve on fundoscopy. Optic atrophy is an end stage that arises from myriad causes of optic nerve damage anywhere along the path from the retina to the lateral geniculate. Since the optic nerve transmits retinal information to the brain, optic atrophy is associated with vision loss. Optic atrophy is somewhat of a misnomer as atrophy implies disuse, and thus optic nerve damage is better termed optic neuropathy.

There is no treatment to reverse atrophy of the optic nerve; however, limiting further optic nerve damage (if possible) is the goal. For example, reduction of increased fluid pressure around the brain and spinal cord (hydrocephalus) may prevent further optic nerve damage. Spectacles may be prescribed to correct refractive error. When optic atrophy is unilateral protection of the good eye is essential and wearing of protective lenses should be stressed. Magnifiers or tinted lenses may also improve visual function.. ...

The work of Professor Francis Barr and colleagues, in collaboration with Drs Irene Aligianis and Mark Handley in Edinburgh, is published in the Journal of Cell Biology (1).. It provides insight into how defects in the construction of the endoplasmic reticulum, the convoluted membrane structure in all eukaryotic cells, may underlie a spectrum of human neurological disorders.. Warburg Micro syndrome (WMS) is a disorder in which children suffer from multiple specific developmental abnormalities in brain and eye development, profound global developmental delay and neurodegeneration. The genetic defect has been mapped to multiple genes - Rab18, a regulator of membrane traffic, and both subunits of a Rab regulatory complex known as Rab3GAP.. Because of the profound neurological defects in Warburg Micro syndrome, researchers have focused on a possible role for these genes in neurotransmission. But a link has remained elusive despite a number of studies.. A look at the conservation of Rab18 provides a ...

BD is a chronic disease characterized by recurrent attacks of severe inflammation that may cause significant ocular damage leading to irreversible alterations and significant vision loss.. Main causes of serious vision loss in Behçets uveitis include optic nerve atrophy, macular damage, and retinal vascular occlusions causing ischemic retinopathy with neovascularization, vitreous hemorrhage, or neovascular glaucoma [1, 2, 5, 6].. Macular involvement in Behçets uveitis may include macular edema, active focus of retinitis, SRD, severe macular atrophy, macular ischemia, macular hole, epiretinal membrane, vascular occlusion, and subretinal neovascularization [1, 2, 5-12].. In our series, macular involvement was detected in 24 % of eyes at presentation, and occurred in 18 % of eyes during follow-up. Macular edema is by far the most common complication, reported in 11.3 to 62 % of patients with Behçets uveitis [1, 2, 5, 7-10]. It can be the result of inflammatory process or the consequence of ...

Extraction of Features from Fundus Images for Glaucoma Assessment | ScholarBank@NUSExtraction of Features from Fundus Images for Glaucoma Assessment | [email protected]
Digital color fundus imaging is a popular imaging modality for the diagnosis of retinal diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, age-related macula degeneration and glaucoma. Early detection of glaucoma can be achieved through analyzing features in fundus images. The optic cup-to-disc ratio and peripapillary atrophy (PPA) are believed to be strongly related to glaucoma. Glaucomatous patients tend to have larger cup-to-disc ratios, and more likely to have beta type PPA. Therefore, automated methods that can accurately detect the optic disc, optic cup and PPA are highly desirable in order to design a computer aided diagnosis (CAD) system for glaucoma. In this work, a novel statistical deformable model is proposed for optic disc segmentation. A knowledge-based Circular Hough Transform is utilized to initialize the model. In addition, a novel optimal channel selection scheme is proposed to enhance the segmentation performance. This algorithm is extended to the optic cup segmentation, which is a more ...

Genetic refinement of dominant optic atrophy (OPA1) locus to within a 2 cM interval of chromosome 3q -ORCAGenetic refinement of dominant optic atrophy (OPA1) locus to within a 2 cM interval of chromosome 3q -ORCA
Autosomal dominant optic atrophy (OPA, MIM 165500) is an eye disease characterised by variable optic atrophy and reduction in visual acuity. It has an insidious onset in the first decade of life and is clinically highly heterogeneous. It is associated with a centrocecal scotoma of varying size and density and an acquired blue-yellow dyschromatopsia. Recent studies of three large Danish pedigrees have mapped a gene for dominant optic atrophy (OPA1) to a 10 cM region on chromosome 3q, between markers D3S1314 and D3S1265 (3q28-qter). Genetic linkage analysis in five British pedigrees confirms mapping to chromosome 3q28-qter. Haplotype analysis of a seven generation pedigree positions the disease causing gene between loci D3S3590 and D3S1305, corresponding to a genetic distance of 2 cM. This represents a significant linkage refinement and should facilitate positional cloning of the disease gene.. ...

Colour discrimination ellipses in patients with dominant optic atrophy -ORCAColour discrimination ellipses in patients with dominant optic atrophy -ORCA
Many colour tests require a visual acuity of at least 0.1, making them unsuitable for low vision patients. To assess colour vision in patients with sub-normal acuity, we re-designed a previously described test so that its spatial details would be coarse enough to be resolvable by subjects with severe visual impairment. The test measures chromatic discrimination along 20 axes evenly spaced in CIE 1976 L*u*v* colour space. We detail the results for this test in a group of patients with dominant optic atrophy. Despite the lack of evidence for genetic heterogeneity in dominant optic atrophy, we observed phenotypic variation both between and within families.. ...

The natural history of OPA1-related autosomal dominant optic atrophy | British Journal of OphthalmologyThe natural history of OPA1-related autosomal dominant optic atrophy | British Journal of Ophthalmology
Dear Editor: I read with interest the article by Dr. Cohn, et al regarding the natural history of autosomal dominant optic atrophy (DOA). The authors describe an average of 10-year follow up for 69 patients with genetically confirmed DOA. In their study, 6 (9%) patients enjoyed improvement in visual acuity by 2 or more lines. I found this surprising, and I wonder if the authors could provide further information regarding this group. Is it the opinion of the authors that these patients actually improved or that this may represent testing artifact or bias? Were they significantly younger than the rest of the cohort? Was their follow up significantly shorter? By how much did the acuities improve among this group? Was their baseline acuity more likely to come from outside records? Sincerely, Michael S Lee, MD ...

Diabetes mellitus AND insipidus with optic atrophy AND deafnessDiabetes mellitus AND insipidus with optic atrophy AND deafness
Wolfram syndrome-1 is a rare and severe autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease characterized by diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, diabetes insipidus, and deafness (DIDMOAD). Additional clinical features may include renal abnormalities, ataxia, dementia or mental retardation, and diverse psychiatric illnesses. The minimal diagnostic criteria for Wolfram syndrome are optic atrophy and diabetes mellitus of juvenile onset. Hearing impairment in Wolfram syndrome is typically progressive and mainly affects the higher frequencies, but a small fraction of affected individuals have congenital deafness (summary by {34:Rendtorff et al., 2011}). Autosomal dominant mutations in the WFS1 gene have been found to cause low-frequency nonsyndromic deafness ({600965}) as well as a Wolfram syndrome-like phenotype ({614296}) in which affected individuals have hearing impairment with diabetes mellitus and/or optic atrophy ...

Background Mutations in OPA3 have been reported in patients with autosomal dominant optic atrophy plus cataract and Costeff syndrome. Here, we report the results of a comprehensive study on OPA3 mutations, including the mutation spectrum and its prevalence in a large cohort of OPA1-negative autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA) patients, the associated clinical phenotype and the functional characterisation of a newly identified OPA3 mutant. Methods Mutation analysis was carried out in a patient cohort of 121 independent ADOA patients. To characterise a novel OPA3 mutation, we analysed the mitochondrial import, steady-state levels and the mitochondrial localisation of the mutated protein in patients fibroblasts. Furthermore, the morphology of mitochondria harbouring the mutated OPA3 was monitored. Results We identified four independent cases (representing families with multiple affected members) with OPA3 mutations. Besides the known p.Q105E mutation, we observed a novel insertion, ...

Wolfram syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder with clinical signs apparent in early childhood. This condition is characterized by juvenile-onset diabetes, optic nerve atrophy, deafness, diabetes insipidus and neurodegeneration, and it may result in death in middle adulthood. Accumulating evidence in my laboratory strongly suggests that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) dysfunction is a critical pathogenic component of Wolfram syndrome. However, a complete understanding of the pathways and biomarkers involved in the disease process is still lacking. As a result, despite the underlying importance of ER dysfunction in Wolfram syndrome, there are currently no therapies that target the ER. The goal of our laboratory is to reveal the molecular mechanisms of Wolfram syndrome and develop patient-based therapeutics for this complex disorder using genetic information from each patient and patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Growing evidence indicates that ER dysfunction is ...

Mitochondrial dysfunction develops in skeletal muscle with aging and may contribute to insulin resistance, which increases cardiovascular risk. A link between skeletal muscle insulin resistance and perturbed mitochondrial fusion and fission has been suggested but not proven. Optic Atrophy 1 (OPA1) is an inner mitochondrial membrane protein that plays a fundamental role in mitochondrial fusion, quality control and respiratory function. OPA1 levels are reduced in muscle from elderly subjects; however, the specific roles of OPA1 in the aging muscle have not been studied. We, therefore, generated a mouse model with inducible deletion of the OPA1 gene in skeletal muscle of adult C57Bl6 mice, by crossing OPA1 floxed mice with HSA-Cre (ERT2) mice (KO). Four-week-old KO and wild-type (WT) mice were treated with tamoxifen for 5 days to induce recombination, resulting in a 60% reduction in OPA1 protein levels 8 weeks after treatment (12-wk-old mice). OPA1 deficiency resulted in altered mitochondrial ...

Patients Wary of Low Vision ProductsPatients Wary of Low Vision Products
A recent survey found more than half of low vision patients are unwilling to use assistive devices, even when they improve their visual performance. Researchers in India interviewed 413 low vision patients from their tertiary eye hospital to uncover the reasons 235 of them shy away from assistive technology. They found cost and convenience werent necessary to blame. In fact, the biggest factor for patients older than age 40 was social stigma (cited by 41.3% of the patients). Those between the ages of 41 and 60 were most likely to avoid these tools due to a fear of losing their job (26.6% of patients). Of all patients younger than 60, 25% felt they didnt need them, despite the fact that the researcher found 53% of those who felt there were not candidates actually had severe visual impairment. Those older than 60 seem to have a harder time accepting their failing vision, as 16.5% were in denial about the magnitude of their condition, the researchers wrote. However, this statistic was somewhat ...

JCI - SSBP1 faux pas in mitonuclear tango causes optic neuropathyJCI - SSBP1 faux pas in mitonuclear tango causes optic neuropathy
Mitochondrial dysfunction or loss is evident in neurodegenerative diseases. Furthermore, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations associated with NADH dehydrogenase subunits and nuclear gene mutations that affect mitochondrial function result in optic neuropathies. In this issue of the JCI, Del Dotto et al. and Piro-Mégy et al. identify heterozygous mutations in nuclear-encoded mitochondrial single-strand binding protein 1 (SSBP1) in patients with apparently dominant optic neuropathy with or without extraocular phenotypes. Both research groups reported similar mitochondrial findings in response to SSBP1 mutations. However, the specific SSBP1 mitochondria-associated function in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and the resulting optic nerve remains unclear. We suggest that high expression of SSBP1 during RGC differentiation is critical for mtDNA maintenance to produce appropriate optic nerve connectivity and that SSBP1 mutations in dominant optic atrophy patients do not permit stable binding to ...

LHON causes a painless loss of central vision in both eyes, due to the death of optic nerve cells. It leads to blindness in young adults, typically between 12 and 30 years of age. Both eyes are affected at the same time. Males are about 4 times more likely to be affected than females. Males will not pass the gene to any of their children, but females with the mutation will pass it to all of their children, regardless of whether the children are sons or daughters. Many factors affect the development of LHON. Both alcohol and tobacco use are associated with an increased risk for blindness in carriers of the mutation. ...

Do I Really Need Another MRI?Do I Really Need Another MRI?
Over past three years I have been followed by specialist and symptoms have been minimal: tingling, heat insensitivity and chronic fatigue for which I take mess. During this time I was also dxd with optic atrophy from optic neuritis but again symptoms were subacute. I have had 3 Brain mris. First showed 4 nonspecific white matter changes, with second some had disappeared and with third I was told it was possible to count 8, still nonspecific but radiologist still reports as normal MRI. So now I have to have a 4th a year later. Is it worth it? I mean from point of view of expense as well as exposure to contrast- I have also had spine mris which showed nothing. Is there a real chance I could have MS or am I being followed from an excess of caution? Is another MRI the way to go or would you suggest other testing or nothing?
