AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
We report on a 28-year-old man with trisomy 7q34-qter and monosomy 15q26.3-qter caused by a paternal balanced chromosomal translocation, t(7;15)(q34;q26.3). He had bilateral congenital glaucoma (buphthalmos), as well as typical manifestations of partial trisomy 7q. To our knowledge, this is the second description of a possible relation between congenital glaucoma and 7q trisomy. He also had some Silver-Russell syndrome features, such as short stature of prenatal onset, a characteristic triangular face, clinodactyly of the fifth fingers, and body asymmetry. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis on his chromosomes revealed that one copy of the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor gene (IGF1R) at 15q25-q26 was deleted, suggesting a possible role of IGF1R in the SRS phenotype.

Introduction: Cataract is a leading cause of visual impairment globally and in Malaysia, with surgery being the definitive treatment. While intracapsular cataract extraction (ICCE) is now less commonly performed due to advancements in surgical techniques, it remains essential in specific cases, such as those with weak zonular support. This study aims to evaluate the incidence, clinical profiles, and visual outcomes of patients who underwent ICCE, with or without intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, at Hospital Melaka, Malaysia, over the past decade.
