Background: This case series reports the performance of a next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel of 176 retinal genes (NGS 176) in patients with inherited retinal disease (IRD).
Methods: Subjects are patients who underwent genetic testing between 1 August 2016 and 1 January 2018 at Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, UK. Panel-based genetic testing was performed unless a specific gene (e.

Background: Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common primary childhood intraocular malignancy and usually presents before the age of 4 years. RB in late childhood is rare and may pose a diagnostic challenge to clinicians.
Materials And Methods: Patients over the age of 4 years with RB were identified retrospectively.
Fundal opacities have been reported in patients with Gaucher disease, a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease, prior to the advent of optical coherent tomography. This report provides a detailed analysis of the fundal opacities in a 14-year-old girl with genetically proven Gaucher disease using spectral domain optical coherent tomography. It illustrates clearly that these opacities were pre-retinal opacities located at the vitreo-retinal interface associated with localized posterior vitreous detachments, rather than vitreous opacities as previously suggested in the literature.
