Genetic blindness: current concepts in the pathogenesis of human outer retinal dystrophies

Gregory-Evans, Kevin, Bhattacharya, Shomi S·1998·Trends in Genetics

Abstract

Outer retinal dystrophies are the major causes of incurable blindness in the Western world. Understanding the etiology of retinal dystrophies has improved remarkably over the past decade. A number of genes, such as RHO, PDE-beta, RDS, TIMP3, MYO7A, RETGC1, RPGR, CRX and ABCR, are now known to be particularly important. Characterization of the genetic basis for disease is leading to new concepts of pathogenesis at the molecular and cellular levels. Such detailed understanding of disease processes is also stimulating a renewed interest in therapeutic strategies.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
