Sickle cell retinopathy is present in some patients with sickle cell disease. In sickle cell retinopathy, blockage of blood vessels in the retina and choroid... results in abnormal blood vessel growth and thinning of the retina.... Sickle cell maculopathy, which affects the center part of the retina, occurs when there is decreased blood flow to this part of the eye. This abnormal blood flow causes patches of retinal thinning...

La drépanocytose est une maladie systémique hématologique induisant la survenue d'événements vaso-occlusifs de divers organes cibles. Sur le plan oculaire, l'atteinte rétinienne se caractérise par des occlusions préférentiellement artérielles et de la vascularisation terminale, pouvant se compliquer de néovascularisation périphérique. Longtemps ignorée, la maculopathie drépanocytaire est désormais bien caractérisée grâce à l'imagerie multimodale[. Une] étude de cas suggère que la maculopathie drépanocytaire, caractérisée par des amincissements rétiniens focaux, proviendrait d'une ischémie du plexus capillaire rétinien profond, à l'origine d'une atrophie tissulaire séquellaire. 2, record 1, French, - maculopathie%20dr%C3%A9panocytaire

Scientists report in Wednesday's edition of the journal Nature Genetics that they have created the first functioning, artificial human chromosome. The new technology, developed by researchers from Case Western Reserve University and Athersys Inc., may eventually provide a way to cure inherited diseases by altering the cell' s genetic structure. Athersys officials say they would like to use artificial chromosomes as a way to package treatments for diseases affecting the immune system, such as AIDS, as well as blood disorders such as sickle cell anemia. 2, record 19, English, - artificial%20human%20chromosome

La synthèse d'un chromosome humain artificiel constitue un autre événement majeur de cette année 1997 dans le domaine de la génétique. Grâce à ces molécules fabriquées par des chercheurs américains, les généticiens disposent désormais de remarquables outils pour mieux comprendre les mécanismes qui régissent la conservation et les remaniements du patrimoine génétique humain. Depuis des années, on sait que ces mécanismes interviennent dans l'apparition de cancers et de nombreuses autres maladies graves. Selon les chercheurs, les chromosomes humains artificiels pourraient se révéler d'excellents vecteurs pour assurer le transfert de gènes « normaux » dans l'organisme de personnes atteintes de pathologies génétiques. 1, record 19, French, - chromosome%20humain%20artificiel

The degree of difficulty in finding a disease gene of interest depends largely on what information is already known about the gene and, especially, on what kind of DNA alterations cause the disease.
