Survey of Ophthalmology

Abstract

We present a clinical pathological review of vitreous amyloidosis in a case of familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy, type I. Vitreous opacification was the first manifestation of disease in the proband, who was successfully treated with vitrectomy. The eyes were obtained at autopsy after the patient died from an unrelated cause, and the histopathology is presented here. Analysis of DNA from the pathology specimen revealed the most commonly reported transthyretin mutation, Val30Met. The classification of systemic and ocular amyloidosis as well as the genetics of familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy are briefly reviewed.

Amyloid deposits around nerves can damage and disrupt smooth information processing between the brain and organs. Here is the latest research on amyloidosis-associated polyneuropathies.

Cell Atlas of the Human Eye

Constructing a cell atlas of the human eye will require transcriptomic and histologic analysis over the lifespan. This understanding will aid in the study of development and disease. Find the latest research pertaining to the Cell Atlas of the Human Eye here.
