Disease relevance of Retinitis

 

Psychiatry related information on Retinitis

  • A new self-examination chart, the Teich Target (copyright 1993, Steven A. Teich, pat. no. 370259), which tests the central 45 degrees of vision, was evaluated for its ability to screen AIDS patients for CMV retinitis [6].
 

High impact information on Retinitis

  • Mutations in Prph2 have been shown to result in a variety of photoreceptor dystrophies, including autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa and macular dystrophy [7].
  • Oral ganciclovir for patients with cytomegalovirus retinitis treated with a ganciclovir implant. Roche Ganciclovir Study Group [2].
  • C-terminal rhodopsin mutations responsible for retinitis pigmentosa inhibit this interaction [8].
  • The RP14 autosomal recessive Retinitis pigmentosa (arRP) locus has been mapped to a 2cM region of chromosome 6p21 [9].
  • In the current study, molecular genetic analysis of a consanguineous pedigree segregating for non-syndromic autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (arRP) indicated that the affected siblings were homozygous by descent for a G4763A nucleotide substitution in RLBP1, the gene encoding cellular retinaldehyde-binding protein (CRALBP) [10].

Biological context of Retinitis

 

Anatomical context of Retinitis

 

Gene context of Retinitis

  • Susceptibility of PKO mice to MCMV retinitis correlated with increased ocular MCMV titers when compared with ocular MCMV titers of gld and normal mice [23].
  • The phenotype produced by RLBP1 mutations seems to be a form of retinitis punctata albescens [24].
  • PURPOSE: Mutations in the systemically expressed pre-mRNA splicing-factor genes PRPF3, PRPF8, and PRPF31 have recently been associated with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP) [25].
  • PURPOSE: To characterize the clinical features of 14 Japanese patients with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (ADRP) who were found to have a mutation in the FSCN2 gene [26].
  • Because chemokines facilitate the activation of leukocytes and their migration to the sites of inflammation, the modulation of chemokine production by the virus suggests a role for chemokines in immune evasion and/or immunopathogenesis of CMV retinitis [27].
