The Results of Morphometric Assessment of the Macular Zone in Congenital Cataract by L. A. Katargina, T. B. Kruglova, N. N. Arestova, O. B. Trifonova

“…Results: various features of the macular zone were revealed: changes in the macular contour, lamellar structure of the retina, thinning of the choroid, and elements of epiretinal fibrosis. Evaluation of retinal differentiation with the help of a macular index, calculated on the basis of morphometric characteristics, revealed its violations in 52.8 % of cases, which was not always revealed in the visual analysis of tomograms. …”

Identifying pathological myopia associated genes with GenePlexus in protein-protein interaction network by Yuanyuan Luo, Yihan Wang, Lin Liu, Feiming Huang, Shiheng Lu, Yan Yan

“…It is broadly classified into two primary types: high myopia, which primarily involves an excessive axial length of the eye with potential for reversible vision loss, and degenerative myopia, associated with progressive and irreversible retinal damage.MethodsLeveraging data from DisGeNET, reporting 184 genes linked to high myopia and 39 genes associated with degenerative myopia, we employed the GenePlexus methodology in conjunction with screening tests to further explore the genetic landscape of pathological myopia.Results and discussionOur comprehensive analysis resulted in the discovery of 21 new genes associated with degenerative myopia and 133 genes linked to high myopia with significant confidence. …”
