Article Synopsis
- - Coloboma is a rare congenital condition where part of the eye's tissue is missing, potentially leading to visual impairments; this study analyzed data from the Texas Birth Defects Registry spanning 1999 to 2014 to better understand its prevalence.
- - The research identified 1,587 coloboma cases, noting that about 58.8% were nonsyndromic, and highlighted key factors affecting prevalence, such as maternal education, race/ethnicity, plurality of births, and maternal diabetes.
- - The findings suggest a rising trend in coloboma cases over the years and could help target screening efforts for at-risk populations, potentially improving outcomes for future children.
