Purpose: The aim of this study is to generate reference values for anterior chamber morphometrics to facilitate the interpretation of anterior chamber images acquired with swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) in a Caucasian population.
Materials And Methods: Non-glaucomatous Caucasian subjects, who were newly referred to the outpatient department of the University Eye Clinic Maastricht UMC+, were asked to undergo anterior segment assessment with SS-OCT imaging prior to routine eye examination (including visual acuity and refractive error measurements, Goldmann applanation tonometry, slit lamp examination and funduscopy).
Results: A total of 647 Caucasian subjects, aged 40-80 years, were included.
Article Synopsis
- * Comprehensive eye examinations and next-generation sequencing (NGS) identified specific mutations in the CHM gene, which were confirmed in both families, with asymptomatic family members identified as carriers.
- * The findings highlight how these genetic mutations impact retinal health, leading to abnormalities due to diminished production of Rab escort protein-1 (REP-1), which is crucial for retinal function.
