Progressive Pathways in Age-Related Macular Degeneration, photoreceptor cell loss. No current therapy halts vision loss. Numerous genetic and/or environmental factors likely contribute to the initiating events leading to AMD. Progressive events from cellular dysfunction and tissue destruction result in the histopathological features of AMD including druse

The Cellular Function of the Usher Gene Product Myosin VIIa is Specified by Its Ligands,Charles Usher (Usher, 1914), is the most common hereditary form of combined blind-and deafness (~ 50% of cases in the developed countries).

In microcosm, this serves as a reminder that retinal disease genes associated with similar clinical phenotypes may have very different biological roles.
