AI Article Synopsis
- A 75-year-old woman experienced gradual visual loss and was referred to an ophthalmologist for evaluation.
- The eye exam showed a bitemporal visual field defect, but an MRI of the brain revealed no chiasm compression.
- Ultimately, retinal imaging techniques led to the diagnosis of retinitis pigmentosa, which was confirmed through genetic testing.
Article Abstract
A 75-year-old woman presented to her ophthalmologist complaining of visual loss for several years. The ophthalmic examination was remarkable for a bitemporal visual field defect. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the brain was normal without evidence of chiasm compression. Neuro-ophthalmic examination was consistent with a retinal rather than a chiasmal disease. Retinal multimodal imaging helped in the correct diagnosis of retinitis pigmentosa, later confirmed by genetic testing.

A Penetrable AAV2 Capsid Variant for Efficient Intravitreal Gene Delivery to the Retina.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify a novel recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) capsid variant that can widely transfect the deep retina through intravitreal injection and to assess their effectiveness and safety in gene delivery.
Methods: By adopting the sequences of various cell-penetrating peptides and inserting them into the capsid modification region of AAV2, we generated several novel variants. The green fluorescent protein (GFP)-carrying variants were screened following intravitreal injection.

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of inherited retinal diseases characterized by progressive loss of photoreceptor cells and retinal pigment epithelium function. Its treatment has long been a focus and challenge in ophthalmic research. Despite advances in therapies such as stem cell transplantation, gene therapy, and retinal prosthetic implants, many difficulties remain.

Retinitis Pigmentosa type 25 (RP25) is a form of inherited retinal dystrophy characterized by a progressive loss of rod photoreceptors, subsequent degeneration of cone photoreceptors, and eventually, the retinal pigment epithelium. Caused by mutations in the EYS gene, it is believed to be critical for the structural and functional integrity of the retina. Using a non-integrative RNA reprogramming method, we have generated human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines from RP25 patient and from carriers but asymptomatic daughters.
