1. 1. Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy : Genetic aetiology and as a risk factor in cataract surgery

   Författare :Andreas Viberg; Berit Byström; Irina Golovleva; Patrik Danielson; Madeleine Zetterberg; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy; genetics; TCF4; trinucleotide repeat disorder; registry-based study; cataract surgery; outcome; PROM; corneal transplantation; dense cataract; posterior capsule rupture; oftalmiatrik; ophthalmology; Clinical Genetics; klinisk genetik;

   Sammanfattning : Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is a bilateral, often hereditary degenerative corneal disease, in which the disrupted endothelial cell function causes corneal swelling and reduced vision. An early clinical sign of FECD is corneal guttata, an irregularity of the endothelial layer. LÄS MER

3. 2. Two New Corneal Diseases Characterized by Recurrent Erosions

   Författare :Björn Hammar; Per Fagerholm; Erik Björck; Minna Vesaluoma; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Cornea; Corneal Dystrophy; Dystrophia Smolandiensis; Dystrophia Helsinglandica; Recurrent Erosions; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Sammanfattning : Recurrent corneal erosions are a common complication of superficial corneal wounds. They most commonly arise following a trauma, in association with various corneal dystrophies, or are idiopathic. LÄS MER

4. 3. Genetics, epigenetics and functional mechanisms in inherited corneal and retinal dystrophies

   Författare :Ida Maria Westin; Irina Golovleva; Berit Byström; Marie Burstedt; Ola Sandgren; Sudha Iyengar; Umeå universitet; []

   Sammanfattning : Inherited eye disorders (IED) are groups of genetically and clinically heterogenous conditions affecting different tissues in the eye. IED are most often progressive with reduced vision or legal blindness as outcome. LÄS MER

5. 4. Surgical outcomes of phototherapeutic keratectomy on Epithelial basement membrane dystrophy, and the characterisation of Bowman´s Layer

   Författare :Johan Germundsson; Neil Lagali; Per Fagerholm; Jesper Hjortdal; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background. Epithelial basement membrane dystrophy (EBMD) is a common disease of the anterior cornea that can lead to problems with vision and/or painful recurrent erosions of the corneal epithelium. Several treatment options have been used, but recurrence of EBMD after treatment is a problem. LÄS MER

7. 5. Underlying genetic mechanisms of hereditary dystrophies in retina and cornea

   Författare :Jonsson Frida; Irina Golovleva; Carlo Rivolta; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cornea; retina; gene; mutation detection; inherited diseases; genetik; Genetics;

   Sammanfattning : Inherited retinal and corneal dystrophies represent a group of disorders with great genetic heterogeneity. Over 250 genes are associated with retinal diseases and 16 genes are causative of corneal dystrophies. LÄS MER
