چکیده

A rare case of bilateral ectopia lentis with isolated lens coloboma in Marfan syndrome is reported. A 21-year-old female presented with decreased vision in both eyes. Her unaided visual acuity was 20/200 and 20/400 in the right and left eye, respectively, improving to 20/40 with -4.5 DS/-3.0 DC x 10° correction in the right eye and 20/80 with -10.0 DS/-6.5 Dc x10° correction in the left eye. On slit lamp examination under mydriasis, both eyes revealed ectopia lentis with lens coloboma and stretched zonules. Fundus examination revealed pigmentary changes at the fovea. On systemic evaluation, she was diagnosed with Marfan syndrome. She was prescribed a refractive correction in form of a contact lens and kept under observation.

Orbital metastasis and intraocular invasion of malignant mixed tumor (carcinosarcoma) of the parotid gland in a child.

fibrillin-rich microfibrils are susceptible to degradation by serine proteases, and the amino acid substitutions found in Marfan syndrome change the fragmentation patterns. Fibrillin degradation products generated by MMP activity provide conclusive evidence that these enzymes cause specific changes to assembled microfibrils. In Marfan syndrome, most of the mutations in fibrillin-1 are found wit...

Marfan syndrome: fibrillin expression and microfibrillar abnormalities in a family with predominant ocular defects.

We have found abnormal fibrillin microfibrils isolated from tissues and cell cultures from two cousins with Marfan syndrome whose major clinical abnormality is bilateral ectopia lentis, but who also have skeletal involvement but no cardiovascular defects. Ultrastructural analysis of ciliary zonules showed the presence of abundant loose microfibril bundles which in many places appeared disorgani...
