Retinal pigment epithelial and outer retinal atrophy (RORA) and complete RORA (cRORA) are major determinants of long-term vision in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), but their development across subtypes is poorly defined, especially in Asian populations, in whom pachychoroid-driven disease is common...

Life has evolved under continuous exposure to solar light, and the emergence of the eye during the Cambrian period is thought to have accelerated biological diversification. Beyond vision, light acts as a biological regulator of metabolism and tissue organization. To elucidate ocular disease mechanisms and develop new...

Reanalyzed whole-genome sequencing data from 1,578 unsolved probands and identified pathogenic variants in multiple snRNA genes, including RNU4-2, RNU2-2, RNU5B-1, and RNU4ATAC, and developed an snRNA-extended WES approach by incorporating capture probes targeting 50 snRNA genes into a standard exome design.
