Prevalence and associated relating factors in patients with hereditary retinal dystrophy: a nationwide population-based study in Taiwan
CONCLUSIONS: 74% of the diagnosed HRD are retinitis pigmentosa. Population-based data suggested an increased incidence of cataract in younger patients, whereas older HRD patients are more susceptible to develop CME. Further work is needed to elucidate the mechanism between these ophthalmological disorders and HRD.PMID:35396285 | DOI:10.1136/bmjopen-2021-054111

Endocrine disorders in a patient with a suspicion of a mitochondrial disease, MELAS syndrome - a case report and literature review
We present a girl who was suspected of MELAS syndrome during the diagnostic evaluation of short stature. The patient suffered from symptoms potentially indicating mitochondrial disease, such as muscular weakness, cranial nerve VI palsy, headaches, retinitis pigmentosa, sensory-neural hearing loss, and elevated lactic acid. T2-weighted brain MRI showed hyperintense lesions in the white matter. Muscular biopsy revealed ragged red fibres. Genetic evaluation did not detect the most common mutations in the MT-TL1 gene and MT-ND5 gene. Endocrine tests led to the confirmation of growth hormone deficiency, and so replacement treat...
