The FMR1 protein product, FMRP, is an mRNA binding associated with translational inhibition of target transcripts. One FMRP the amyloid precursor (APP) mRNA, and APP levels are elevated in Fmr1 KO mice. Given that expression can elicit Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients model systems, we evaluated whether might be altered autopsy brain samples mouse models compared to controls. In a double transgenic AD (APP/PS1), found no difference aged mice littermate was also similar control patient...
Purpose: To describe early structural and functional retinal changes in a patient with Cohen syndrome.Methods: A 13-month-old Caucasian girl of Irish Spanish ancestry was noted to have micrognathia laryngomalacia at birth, which prompted genetic evaluation that revealed biallelic deletions COH1 (VPS13B) (a maternally inherited 60-kb deletion involving exons 26–32 paternally 3.5-kb within exon 17) consistent syndrome. She underwent complete ophthalmic examination, full-field flash...

Results: 37-year-old woman at 38 weeks gestation presented with 2 progressive blurred vision the left eye. She had visual acuity (VA) 20/800 an intraocular pressure (IOP) 26 mm Hg eye (compared 17 right eye). Examination showed subretinal fluid posterior pole, ciliochoroidal without pathology was found to have hypertension...
