Coloboma of the iris

[unbfacts]

Cat-Eye Syndrome is a rare change on chromosome 22. One tiny chromosomal extra can ripple across the body: eyes (cat-like iris openings), unusual ears, heart defects, gut/anal problems, and kidney issues. It’s complicated, and not every person has the same mix of features.

Pretty eyes

Since I saw the post about eyes with coloboma iris, I wanted to draw crowley with "human" eyes. I don't know if snake eyes or these eyes look more rare.

Gene therapy technique shows potential for repairing damage caused by glaucoma and dementia

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have shown in animal studies that gene therapy may help repair some of the damage caused in chroni

This was a great read. Especially for those who love science and knows someone who suffers from glaucoma and/or dementia. For me, it runs in my family.

I’ve always reveled in the idea of gene therapy to stave off memory loss and cognitive decline. I never thought about how it could repair damage caused by such an irreversible disease such as dementia. I’m also loving the idea of using it for eye conditions.

I wonder if it could possibly repair damage to individuals suffering from coloboma and cataracts as well. These complex eye diseases can cause some serious damage. My sister just so happens to have all three (coloboma, cataracts, and glaucoma) in both eyes.
