Article Synopsis
  • Cerebroretinal vasculopathy and related disorders are now recognized as a single disease linked to mutations in a specific gene, specifically termed ‘retinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukodystrophy’.
  • In a study of 78 individuals from 11 families, researchers identified five different mutations and gathered extensive data, revealing that 64 mutation carriers exhibited vascular retinopathy and notable neuroimaging findings, such as white matter lesions.
  • Clinical symptoms included a range of neurological issues, with a mean diagnosis age of 42.9 years and an average death age of 53.1 years, alongside systemic problems like liver disease and hypertension in many patients.

Purpose: In trans-scleral thermotherapy (TSTT), heat is applied through the sclera in order to target an intraocular uveal melanoma. Previously, it had been shown that in uveal melanoma, hyperthermia and transpupillary thermotherapy influenced expression of immunologically relevant proteins, such as S100, HLA and heat-shock proteins (HSPs). We investigated whether TSTT induced similar changes.
