  • A Review of Hypermobility Syndromes and Chronic Or Recurrent Musculoskeletal Pain in Children Marco Cattalini1, Raju Khubchandani2 and Rolando Cimaz3*
    Cattalini et al. Pediatric Rheumatology (2015) 13:40 DOI 10.1186/s12969-015-0039-3 REVIEW Open Access When flexibility is not necessarily a virtue: a review of hypermobility syndromes and chronic or recurrent musculoskeletal pain in children Marco Cattalini1, Raju Khubchandani2 and Rolando Cimaz3* Abstract Chronic or recurrent musculoskeletal pain is a common complaint in children. Among the most common causes for this problem are different conditions associated with hypermobility. Pediatricians and allied professionals should be well aware of the characteristics of the different syndromes associated with hypermobility and facilitate early recognition and appropriate management. In this review we provide information on Benign Joint Hypermobility Syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Marfan Syndrome, Loeys-Dietz syndrome and Stickler syndrome, and discuss their characteristics and clinical management. Keywords: Hyperlaxity, Musculoskeletal pain, Ehlers-Danlos, Marfan, Loeys-Dietz, Stickler Introduction Review Chronic or recurrent musculoskeletal pain is a common Benign joint hypermobility syndrome (BJHS) complaint in children, affecting between 10 % and 20 % Children with hypermobile joints by definition display a of children.

  • Common Variants in the COL2A1 Gene Are Associated with Lattice Degeneration of the Retina in a Japanese Population
    Molecular Vision 2019; 25:843-850 <http://www.molvis.org/molvis/v25/843> © 2019 Molecular Vision Received 25 April 2019 | Accepted 3 December 2019 | Published 5 December 2019 Common variants in the COL2A1 gene are associated with lattice degeneration of the retina in a Japanese population Shinya Okazaki,1 Akira Meguro,1 Ryuichi Ideta,2 Masaki Takeuchi,1 Junichi Yonemoto,1 Takeshi Teshigawara,1,3,4 Takahiro Yamane,1 Eiichi Okada,5 Hidenao Ideta,2 Nobuhisa Mizuki1 1Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Yokohama City University Graduate School of Medicine, Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan; 2Ideta Eye Hospital, Kumamoto, Kumamoto, Japan; 3Yokosuka Chuoh Eye Clinic, Yokosuka, Kanagawa, Japan; 4Tsurumi Chuoh Eye Clinic, Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan; 5Okada Eye Clinic, Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan Purpose: Lattice degeneration of the retina is a vitreoretinal disorder characterized by a visible fundus lesion that predisposes the patient to retinal detachment. It has been suggested that collagen type II alpha 1 (COL2A1) gene vari- ants may contribute to the development of disorders associated with retinal detachment. Here we investigated whether COL2A1 gene variants were associated with the risk of lattice degeneration of the retina. Methods: We recruited 634 Japanese patients with lattice degeneration of the retina and 1694 Japanese healthy controls. We genotyped 13 tagging single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in COL2A1. We also performed imputation analysis to evaluate the potential association of un-genotyped COL2A1 SNPs, involving the imputation of 65 SNPs. Results: Two intronic SNPs—rs1793954 and rs1635533—were significantly associated with lattice degeneration of the retina. The SNP rs1793954 showed the strongest association, with its C allele carrying an increased disease risk (p = 0.0016, corrected p = 0.021, OR = 1.25).

  • Lattice Degeneration
    RETINA HEALTH SERIES | Facts from the ASRS The Foundation American Society of Retina Specialists Committed to improving the quality of life of all people with retinal disease. Lattice Degeneration is a condition that WHAT IS THE RETINA? involves abnormal thinning of the peripheral retina, which is the tissue that lines the back wall of the eye and is critical for maintaining good vision. When lattice degeneration is present, the retina is more vulnerable to developing tears, breaks, or holes that could ultimately lead to a visually debilitating condition called a retinal detachment. For this reason, once diagnosed lattice degeneration should be closely monitored. THE RETINA is a thin layer of Clinically, lattice degeneration is characterized by light-sensitive nerve tissue that lines oval or straight patches of thinned retina, sometimes the back of the eye (or vitreous) cavity. When light enters the eye, it accompanied by pigment clumps or a crosshatching pattern passes through the iris to the retina formed by sclerotic vessels (Figure 1). Lattice may be where images are focused and converted to electrical impulses that found in only one eye, but often is present in both. There are carried by the optic nerve to the may be just one lesion or clusters of many. Lattice is often brain resulting in sight. located along the outer border of the retina. Causes and Risk Factors: Lattice degeneration occurs in 8% to 10% of the general population and its cause is not fully understood. There does not appear to be a correlation in incidence by gender or race. And while this condition does not follow a definitive inheritance pattern, it frequently clusters within families.
