Hereditary degenerations of the human retina are genetically heterogeneous, with well over
100 genes implicated so far. This Seminar focuses on the subset of diseases called retinitis …

X-linked retinopathies represent a significant proportion of monogenic retinal disease. They
include progressive and stationary conditions, with and without syndromic features. Many …

Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging is a novel imaging method that allows topographic
map** of lipofuscin distribution in the retinal pigment epithelium cell monolayer as well as …

Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) is a non-invasive retinal imaging modality used in clinical
practice to provide a density map of lipofuscin, the predominant ocular fluorophore, in the …

Background: Gene therapy cannot be yet considered a far perspective, but a tangible
therapeutic option in the field of retinal diseases. Although still confined in experimental …

Quantitative fundus autofluorescence (qAF) is an approach that is built on a confocal
scanning laser platform and used to measure the intensity of the inherent autofluorescence …

Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) has allowed in vivo map** of retinal metabolic
derangements and structural changes not possible with conventional color imaging. Incident …

advanced-stage retinitis pigmentosa (RP) comparing the use of fundus autofluorescence …

Purpose To examine the presence and functional significance of annular fundus
autofluorescence abnormalities in patients with different retinal dystrophies. Methods Eighty …

Genes that increase susceptibility to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) have been
