目的探讨老年黄斑变性(ARMD)是否存在遗传因素。方法分析一个7姊妹兄弟的家族中,4位成员的老年黄斑变性患病情况。结果在被检查的6位60岁以上的姊弟中,3位男性均患ARMD,且其中2姊弟为湿性型,其线粒体脱氧核糖核酸(mtDNA)均呈突变。虽然这些成员长期生活在不同国家和环境,却有类似的临床或实验室改变。结论从本家族ARMD发病情况看,ARMD发病机制上可能存在遗传因素
Objective To investigate the genetic factors of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). Methods Analyze the prevalence of age-related macular degeneration among four members of a family of seven siblings. Results Of the 6 children over the age of 60 who were examined, all three men had ARMD, and 2 of them were wet and had a mutation in their mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA). Although these members have long lived in different countries and environments, they have similar clinical or laboratory changes. Conclusion From the incidence of ARMD in this family, there may be genetic factors in the pathogenesis of ARMD
