N2 - Thirty-one members of a family affected with X-linked ocular albinism (OAI) were studied to characterize the clinical phenotype and identify the disease-causing mutation. The family members were examined with ophthalmoscopy, electroretinography, and Goldmann perimetry. Linkage analysis was performed with markers from the OAI locus. Exons 2 and 8 of the OAI gene were assayed with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The six affected males had visual acuities ranging from 20/40 to 20/200. All had nystagmus, iris transillumination, and foveal hypoplasia. The eldest affected male had 20/40 vision and was asymptomatic. The level of the visual acuity of the affected males was not related to the ...

Ocular albinism is a form of albinism which, in contrast to oculocutaneous albinism, presents primarily in the eyes.[1] There are multiple forms of ocular albinism, which are clinically similar.[2]:865. Both known genes are on the X chromosome. When the term autosomal recessive ocular albinism (AROA) is used, it usually refers to mild variants of oculocutaneous albinism rather than ocular albinism, which is X-linked.[3]. ...

Mutations in human and/or mouse homologs are associated with this disease. Synonyms: Forsius-Eriksson syndrome; FORSIUS-ERIKSSON TYPE OCULAR ALBINISM

Its estimated that about one in every 18,000-20,000 people in the United States have some form of albinism.. There are several different forms. Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) happens when theres a mutation in one gene. OCA results in white skin, white hair, and blue eyes.. X-linked ocular albinism occurs only in men, and manifests as light-colored skin and hair thats still considered within the normal range.. Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome has symptoms similar to OCA, but its more common in Puerto Rico and its usually accompanied by blood, lung, and bowel disorders.. And Chediak-Higashi syndrome is a rare version that gives hair a silver cast and causes skin to be grayish. White blood cell counts are often affected as well, making people with this type more prone to infections.. As for eye color in humans with albinism, the red, pink, or purple appearance can show up when the light is just right. While the eyes themselves can be blue or brown, the lack of pigmentation can make them seem ...

Purpose: Ocular albinism type 1 (OA1) is characterized by the presence of macromelanosomes in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and abnormal crossing of the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) axons. It is caused by mutations in the OA1 gene. How the reduced melanosomal pigmentation of OA1 RPE exerts its effects upon the RGCs to influence the misrouting of their axons at the optic chiasm remains unsolved. In mouse, by embryonic day 15, the RPE is already melanized, the ipsilateral and contralateral RGCs have been generated and the majority of their axons pass through the optic chiasm. Our aim is to identify candidate genes critical for normal pigmentation of the RPE and crossing of the optic nerves using microarrays hybridized with mRNAs from 15 days post coito (dpc) ocular albino (Oa1-/-) and control (B6/NCrl) embryonic mice eyes.. Methods: 15.5 dpc mouse embryos (6-10/litter) were collected from pregnant Oa1-/- and the corresponding control B6/NCrl females. Total RNA was isolated from the eyes of ...

Ocular albinism is a genetic condition that reduces the pigmentation of the iris, which is the colored part of the eye, and the retina, which is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. Many folks with ocular albinism have difficulty seeing outside without sunglasses and transitioning from outside to inside.. Nystagmus is a condition in which the eyes move in an involuntary and repetitive way. Sometimes the movement is slow and horizontal. Other times the movement is fast twitched, vertical, and rotary. There are supposedly 49 different subtypes of nystagmus with varying degrees of severity. These movements often result in reduced vision and depth perception. The condition tends to improve until about age 10, and stabilizes for the remainder of the persons life.. Due to her visual issues, Sonyas best corrected visual acuity is 20/200, the cut off point for legal blindness. In other words, even with glasses or contacts, she can only see something clearly from 20 feet away that other ...

boys Ocular Albinism, I stopped in at Guest Relations right inside the entrance and asked if there would be any accommodations they could offer us as the boys are extremely photophobic (their eyes are very sensitive to bright light/sunlight) and I explained that it would be hard for them to stand in long lines in the sun for extended periods of time. The person behind the desk was very understanding and gave us a Ride Accessibility Pass (RAP) which allowed us to set up a time to get on each ride without having to stand in line. Instead, we could wait elsewhere out of the sun and then enter the ride through the exit and get on almost immediately. We actually only ended up needing to use this pass a handful of times though since we were at the park on a Monday and the lines were not terribly long to begin with ...

A five generation family with an X linked ocular disorder has been investigated. The major clinical features were reduced visual acuity, nystagmus, and myopia. Although impaired night vision was not a symptom, using psychophysical and electrophysiological testing both rod and cone function were found to be abnormal in all affected males. No abnormality was detected in carrier females. Gene location studies showed X linked transmission of a gene that maps to proximal Xp11. The findings observed in this cohort are similar to those previously reported in both congenital stationary night blindness type 2 (CSNB2) and Aland Island eye disease (AIED). This study addresses whether CSNB2 and AIED are a single entity or whether the latter is a subset of the former.

PURPOSE The purpose of the current research was to detect the underlying genetic defect in a Chinese family with X-linked congenital nystagmus and perform prenatal genetic diagnosis for their current pregnancy. METHODS A common clinical examination and an ophthalmic evaluation were performed on the proband, one carrier, and one unaffected member. Mutation analysis of the G protein-coupled receptor 143 (GPR143) and four-point-one (4.1), ezrin, radixin, moesin (FERM) domain-containing 7 (FRMD7) genes was performed by direct sequencing of PCR-amplified exons in the proband. The detected GPR143 mutation was tested in all available family members and 200 normal controls by direct sequencing. RESULTS Congenital nystagmus, obvious fundus hypopigmentation, and foveal hypoplasia were observed in the proband but not in the carriers or the unaffected members. A novel splicing mutation c.658+1 g|t not found in 200 unrelated controls was identified and co-segregated with X-linked ocular albinism (XLOA) in this

In this study, we report a family with typical clinical signs of X-linked congenital nystagmus. The sequence analysis of GPR143 identified a novel duplication mutation in exon 1. All affected males were hemizygous for the mutation whereas female carriers were heterozygous for the duplication. Nystagmus is common in all types of albinism. Diagnosis of the underlying disease often requires extensive clinical, electrophysiological, psychophysical, and eventually molecular genetic examinations, especially when clinical findings are unrevealing. A few individuals initially misdiagnosed with congenital nystagmus have been shown to be affected by ocular albinism type 1 by screening GPR143 [10,11]. However, in our study, none of the patients with the GPR143 mutation had the classical phenotype of ocular albinism. GPR143 was cloned from the OA1 critical region in Xp22.3-22.2 in 1995 [7]. To date, more than 90 different GPR143 mutations have since been described. However, there were only nine different ...

Fisher SE, Ciccodicola A, Tanaka K, Curci A, Desicato S, Durso M, Craig IW. Sequence-based exon prediction around the synaptophysin locus reveals agene-rich area containing novel genes in human proximal Xp.Genomics. 1997 Oct 15;45(2):340-7. PMID: 9344658 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]. The human Xp11.23-p11.22 interval has been implicated in several inherited diseases including Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome; three forms of X-linked hypercalciuric nephrolithiaisis; and the eye disorders retinitis pigmentosa 2, congenital stationary night blindness, and Aland Island eye disease. In constructing YAC contigs spanning Xp11. 23-p11.22, we have previously shown that the region around the synaptophysin (SYP) gene is refractory to cloning in YACs, but highly stable in cosmids. Preliminary analysis of the latter suggested that this might reflect a high density of coding sequences and we therefore undertook the complete sequencing of a SYP-containing cosmid. Sequence data were extensively analyzed using ...

Sequence data were extensively analyzed using computer programs such as CENSOR (to mask repeats), BLAST (for homology searches), and GRAIL and GENE-ID (to predict exons). This revealed the presence of 29 putative exons, organized into three genes, in addition to the 7 exons of the complete SYP coding region, all mapping within a 44-kb ...

Visual function and ocular pigmentation are being studied in patients with albinism and other disorders associated with hypopigmentation. The degree of ocular pigmentation is assessed clinically by estimating the melanin content of the iris, retinal pigment epithelium, and choroid. Visual function is measured in the conventional manner to study central vision, and electrophysiological methods to detect a misrouting of the visual pathways. The purpose of this study is to document the visual deficit and the pigmentary changes of patients with albinism, to observe their natural course, and to determine whether misrouting of the visual pathways is present and is correlated with pigmentation ...

There are about 16 different genes responsible for eye color, it is mostly attributed to two adjacent genes on chromosome 15, hect domain and RCC1-like domain-containing protein 2 (HERC2) and ocular albinism (that is, oculocutaneous albinism II (OCA2)). An intron in HERC2 contains the promoter region for OCA2, affecting its expression. Therefore, singlenucleotide polymorphisms SNP in either of these two genes have a large role in the eye color of an individual. Furthermore, with all genetic expression, aberration also occurs. Some individuals may express two phenotypes-one in each eye-or a complete lack of pigmentation, ocular albinism. We could say that a conserved regulatory element within intron 86 of the HERC2 gene that is perfectly associated with the brown/blue eye color, in studied individuals from Denmark, Turkey and Jordan. This element had an inhibitory eVect on the OCA2 promoter activity in cell cultures, and the blue and the brown alleles were shown to bind non-identical subsets of ...

Doctors give trusted, helpful answers on causes, diagnosis, symptoms, treatment, and more: Dr. Hamilton on do people with blue eyes generally have worse sight than people with brown eyes: Iris color is determined by the amount of brown pigment it contains. A large amount creates brown eyes; less pigment creates a blue appearance. Eye sight is related to the shape of the eye and health of the retina (film layer) and optic nerve. Some eye conditions can lead to poor vision and blue eyes (ocular albinism), but eye color itself is usually not related to eye sight.

Our first full collection is focuses on textural whites. In several of the images youll see Sam, who is legally blind because of his ocular albinism. He reached out to us, seeking an apprenticeship in weaving. We have worked on developing products that are highly tactile, and technically simple to weave. The tailoring of that process has informed the choice to focus on the materialization of the nuances and subtleties of the single color white in wool. These works favor tactility. Through this experience Sam has become an accomplished weaver and has produced much of the collection. The learnings from this relationship have gone both ways, and weve become acutely aware of the current conditions for blind and visually impaired people. The global unemployment rate for the blind in the US alone tops out at 75%. In Germany the unemployment rate is at 72%. We see an opportunity to provide a creative pathway towards meaningful work.. ...

The ocular manifestations in type IV oculocutaneous albinism are similar to those of other types. Nystagmus, strabismus, misrouting of neuronal axons, and foveal hypoplasia are prominent features although there is some clinical heterogeneity among patients. Nystagmus may not be present at birth but is almost always evident by 3-4 months of age. The iris may be pale blue or tan and does not generally darken with age. Poor stereopsis is common. Vision is stable after childhood and usually in the range of 20/100-20/400. ...

Purpose : Albinism is a group of disorders characterised by a lack of pigment and abnormal retinal development. Despite being a common cause for visual impairment world-wide, there are few treatments and patients typically suffer life-long visual disability. To develop a targeted and effective treatment for albinism-linked visual impairment, the role of the pigment synthesis pathway in normal ocular development needs to be interrogated. The aim of this study was to characterise the phenotypic differences in the retina of C57BL/6-c2J (CALB) mouse model of human oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) compared to normally pigmented C57BL/6 (B6) mice. Methods : Components of the dopaminergic signalling pathway in the developing retina of untreated CALB and B6 mice were studied by immunohistochemistry (IHC) at E11, 12, 16, 17 and W4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, with n=3 per group per time point. We looked at the distribution of ocular albinism 1 (OA1) and dopaminergic D2 receptors, DOPA decarboxylase (DD) and tyrosine ...
