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.

Benign yellow dot maculopathy (BYDM) is a recently described rare, asymptomatic, early onset, and non-progressive macular phenotype. It is characterized by the presence of multiple white-yellow dots encircling the fovea, which are hyperautofluorescent on fundus autofluorescence. Here, we expand on the few reports available by presenting a case series of five Portuguese patients with clinical BYDM phenotype and congruent multimodal imaging, including the second reported unilateral case.

About one-third of individuals with diabetes develop diabetic retinopathy (DR), with one-tenth experiencing vision-threatening conditions such as diabetic macular edema (DME) or proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Current treatments only show recovery in 50% of cases, and the disease often remains asymptomatic. Therefore, novel early detection methods and new biomarkers are crucial.
