    Whole Exome Sequencing Gene package Vision disorders, version 6.1, 31-1-2020 Technical information DNA was enriched using Agilent SureSelect DNA + SureSelect OneSeq 300kb CNV Backbone + Human All Exon V7 capture and paired-end sequenced on the Illumina platform (outsourced). The aim is to obtain 10 Giga base pairs per exome with a mapped fraction of 0.99. The average coverage of the exome is ~50x. Duplicate and non-unique reads are excluded. Data are demultiplexed with bcl2fastq Conversion Software from Illumina. Reads are mapped to the genome using the BWA-MEM algorithm (reference: http://bio-bwa.sourceforge.net/). Variant detection is performed by the Genome Analysis Toolkit HaplotypeCaller (reference: http://www.broadinstitute.org/gatk/). The detected variants are filtered and annotated with Cartagenia software and classified with Alamut Visual. It is not excluded that pathogenic mutations are being missed using this technology. At this moment, there is not enough information about the sensitivity of this technique with respect to the detection of deletions and duplications of more than 5 nucleotides and of somatic mosaic mutations (all types of sequence changes).

  • Megalocornea Jeffrey Welder and Thomas a Oetting, MS, MD September 18, 2010
    Megalocornea Jeffrey Welder and Thomas A Oetting, MS, MD September 18, 2010 Chief Complaint: Visual disturbance when changing positions. History of Present Illness: A 60-year-old man with a history of simple megalocornea presented to the Iowa City Veterans Administration Healthcare System eye clinic reporting visual disturbance while changing head position for several months. He noticed that his vision worsened with his head bent down. He previously had cataract surgery with an iris-sutured IOL due to the large size of his eye, which did not allow for placement of an anterior chamber intraocular lens (ACIOL) or scleral-fixated lens. Past Medical History: Megalocornea Medications: None Family History: No known history of megalocornea Social History: None contributory Ocular Exam: • Visual Acuity (with correction): • OD 20/100 (cause unknown) • OS 20/20 (with upright head position) • IOP: 18mmHg OD, 17mmHg OS • External Exam: normal OU • Pupils: No anisocoria and no relative afferent pupillary defect • Motility: Full OU. • Slit lamp exam: megalocornea (>13 mm in diameter) and with anterior mosaic dystrophy. Iris-sutured posterior chamber IOLs (PCIOLs), stable OD, but pseudophacodonesis OS with loose inferior suture evident. • Dilated funduscopic exam: Normal OU Clinical Course: The patient’s iris-sutured IOL had become loose (tilted and de-centered) in his large anterior chamber, despite several sutures that had been placed in the past, resulting now in visual disturbance with movement. FDA and IRB approval was obtained to place an Artisan iris-clip IOL (Ophtec®). He was taken to the OR where his existing IOL was removed using Duet forceps and scissors. The Artisan IOL was placed using enclavation iris forceps.

  • Recessive Buphthalmos in the Rabbit' Rochon-Duvigneaud
    RECESSIVE BUPHTHALMOS IN THE RABBIT’ BERTRAM L. HANNA,2 PAUL B. SAWIN3 AND L. BENJAMIN SHEPPARD4 Received September 8, 1961 BUPHTHALMOS (hydrophthalmos, congenital infantile glaucoma) in rabbits has been of interest to European geneticists but has attracted little attention in the United States despite its recurrent appearance in laboratory and commercial breeding stocks. This condition is of particular interest to the field of expen- mental ophthalmology because of its similarity to congenital glaucoma in hu- mans. The earliest report of rabbit buphthalmos appears to be that of SCHLOESSER (1886), who presented the detailed histopathology of the left eye of a brown rab- bit which developed an acute glaucoma following irritation of both corneas to induce traumatic cataract. Other single case reports are by PICHLER(1910), ROCHON-DUVIGNEAUD(1921) and BECKH(1935), although in the last case the buphthalmos may have been secondary to a yaws infection. VOGT(1919), re- ported the occurrence of buphthalmos bilaterally in three siblings purchased at nine months of age. A mating between two of these produced a litter of three, all of which developed high grade buphthalmos. NACHTSHEIM(1937) and GERI (1954, 1955) studied the inheritance of buphthalmos and concluded that it is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait. FRANCESCHETTI(1930) noted a de- ficiency of affected offspring from matings of heterozygous carrier parents. GERI (1955) found 12.5 percent affected offspring from carrier matings and suggested that the deficiency results from fetal death of buphthalmic animals. MCMASTER (1960) reported a mating of two animals with bilateral buphthalmos which pro- duced a litter of seven, only four of which were affected.

  • Ophthalmology
    Ophthalmology Information for health professionals MEDICAL GENETIC TESTING FOR OPHTHALMOLOGY Recent technologies, in particularly Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), allows fast, accurate and valuable diagnostic tests. For Ophthalmology, CGC Genetics has an extensive list of medical genetic tests with clinical integration of results by our Medical Geneticists. 1. EXOME SEQUENCING: Exome Sequencing is a very efficient strategy to study most exons of a patient’s genome, unraveling mutations associated with specific disorders or phenotypes. With this diagnostic strategy, patients can be studied with a significantly reduced turnaround time and cost. CGC Genetics has available 2 options for Exome Sequencing: • Whole Exome Sequencing (WES), which analyzes the entire exome (about 20 000 genes); • Disease Exome by CGC Genetics, which analyzes about 6 000 clinically-relevant genes. Any of these can be performed in the index case or in a Trio. 2. NGS PANELS For NGS panels, several genes associated with the same phenotype are simultaneously sequenced. These panels provide increased diagnostic capability with a significantly reduced turnaround time and cost. CGC Genetics has several NGS panels for Ophthalmology that are constantly updated (www.cgcgenetics.com). Any gene studied in exome or NGS panel can also be individually sequenced and analyzed for deletion/duplication events. 3. EXPERTISE IN MEDICAL GENETICS CGC Genetics has Medical Geneticists specialized in genetic counseling for ophthalmological diseases who may advice in choosing the most appropriate

The demodex mite is a commensal parasite that lives in hair follicles, sebaceous glands and meibomian, which in a high rate of infestation can generate alterations in the ocular area. Performing an adequate diagnosis for the detection of the mite and treatment for its eradication can be effective for the recovery of the normal physiology of the tear film that constitutes a cause of dry eye. Introduction Congenital ectropion uvea is a rare ocular manifestation of neural crest syndrome [1]. It is a non-progressive anomaly characterized by presence of iris pigment epithelium on anterior surface of iris from the pigment ruff [2]. Congenital glaucoma is its common association [3-8].

  • Lid and Lash Conditions
    Perth Veterinary Ophthalmology Lid and Lash Conditions Eyelid Diseases The most common eyelid diseases are entropion, ectropion and facial droop. Entropion Entropion means a turning in of the lids. This is a common complaint in young dogs but can sometimes affect older dogs and cats as well. Most cases in young dogs affect the lower lids, but the upper lid can become affected in later life in some breeds such as Cocker Spaniels and Bloodhounds. Entropion Some breeds such as Shar Peis, Chows, Rottweillers and Mastiffs can have very complex entropion leading to defects in both upper and lower lids. A Shar Pei with severe upper and lower lid entropion Entropion is painful and can be potentially blinding. The rolling in of the lid leads to hair coming into contact with the cornea, leading to pain, ulceration and scarring (which can affect vision). In severe cases this can even lead to perforation of the eye. There are many causes of entropion. It can be primary or secondary to other problems affecting the lids (such as ectopic cilia, distichiasis etc. - see below). Some possible causes include the lid being too long, the lid being too tight, instability of the lateral canthus (outer cornea of the eyelids), misdirection of the lateral canthal tendon, brachycephalic anatomy (big eyes and short nose - e.g. Pekingese, Pugs, Shih Tsus, Persian cats etc.), diamond eye defects, loose or too much skin, facial droop etc. Often these cases are referred to a veterinary ophthalmologist for proper assessment and treatment to provide the best outcome. Entropion requires surgical correction.
