A significant portion of CC cases remains idiopathic. Genetic diagnosis can eliminate unnecessary tests and ensure appropriate follow-up and treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the etiology of CC without known etiological reasons in 10 families using whole exome sequencing (WES).MethodsTen families participated in this study, with all patients undergoing comprehensive ophthalmological, metabolic, and genetic assessments. DNA samples from the probands were analyzed using WES, and variants were verified and validated through Sanger sequencing.ResultsOf the 10 patients diagnosed with isolated CC, 9 (90%) had bilateral cataracts, and 1 (10%) had unilateral cataract. Nuclear type cataracts were detected in 8 (80%) patients, while polar type cataracts were found in 2 (20%) patients. Parental consanguinity was present in 7 out of the 10 families. An unidentified variant in the <i>RAB3GAP1</i> gene (c.491C > G) associated with Martsolf syndrome was found in one patient. Two novel and one previously identified gene variants associated with CC were detected in 3 of the remaining 9 patients: a novel c.463C > T in <i>CRYGD</i>, a previously identified c.965dup in <i>HSF4</i>, and a novel c.3330C > A in <i>FYCO1</i>.ConclusionThe high rate of consanguineous marriages in Turkey (23.3%) increases the incidence of autosomal recessive (AR) diseases, explaining the higher prevalence of AR CC despite its usual autosomal dominant inheritance.

This can lead to central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC), which is clinically seen as retinal pigment epithelium detachments and subretinal fluid accumulation. Despite the fact that corticosteroid exposure is a main risk factor for CSC, its pathogenesis is unknown. This paper describes a case series in which individuals engaged in competitive video gaming presented with pachychoroid disease, and sheds light on the impact of prolonged screen exposure and e-sports-related stress on pachychoroid disease.Case presentationWe report 8 male e-sports players diagnosed with pachychoroid disease, including 6 with CSC and 2 with uncomplicated pachychoroid. All reported average daily screen exposure of 5-10 h and heightened stress during tournaments. Some cases resolved with lifestyle changes, while others required medical intervention. Reduction in video gaming and stress was correlated with symptomatic improvement.ConclusionsHigh-intensity e-sports may contribute to pachychoroid disease through prolonged screen exposure and sustained stress. Live streaming and competitive pressure may amplify these effects. Stress management and regulated screen time could mitigate risks. This case series highlights a possible association between prolonged gaming stress and pachychoroid disease.
