Importance: The apparent genetic penetrance of macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel) is important for gene discovery studies and for clinical risk assessment of affected individuals' family members.
Objective: To determine the genetic penetrance of MacTel.
Design, Setting, And Participants: Descriptive cross-sectional study of patients with MacTel at a tertiary referral eye center.
Purpose: To analyze macular pigment (MP) amount and distribution in patients with macular telangiectasia Type 2 receiving oral zeaxanthin supplementation in a randomized, open-label, interventional trial.
Methods: Eight macular telangiectasia Type 2 patients were randomized to 10 mg or 20 mg of zeaxanthin per day. At each visit, best-corrected visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, fundus biomicroscopy, color fundus photography, autofluorescence imaging, optical coherence tomography, and serum carotenoid levels were tested.
