While over 10 genes have been implicated in FEVR, genotype-phenotype correlations and their clinical significance are incompletely understood. Here we describe a retrospective cohort of FEVR patients and assess the impact of defined genetic variants on protein structure, disease severity, inter-ocular variability, as well as treatment choices and visual outcomes. Methods Retrospective cohort of 51 patients with FEVR across three UK paediatric retina centres. All data was obtained from routine clinical records. Standard FEVR staging system was used throughout. Identified genetic variants were checked against genomic databases (ClinVar, GnomAD, UniProt), and their structural impact was examined using in silico algorithms (MutationTaster and PolyPhen2) to determine the likelihood of pathogenicity. Results 51 patients were included, with variants identified in FZD4 (n=16), LRP5 (n=13), TSPAN12 (n=11), KIF11 (n=6), NDP (n=4), and CTNNB1 (n=1). In silico analysis identified 11 variants not previously reported in FEVR, seven of which were classified as likely pathogenic. NDP variants were associated with the most severe and asymmetrical disease. Management included conservative monitoring (45 eyes), retinal laser photocoagulation (39 eyes), and surgical interventions (12 eyes), with the majority of patients achieving stable or improved visual acuity in all treatment groups. Conclusion This study demonstrates significant diversity among FEVR patients with regards to genetic variants, clinical presentation, and visual outcomes. Understanding genotype-phenotype correlations in FEVR may be crucial for developing novel treatment strategies.

Etiologically, tear film instability, hyperosmolarity, inflammatory mechanisms and neurosensory abnormalities play a decisive role.Treating dry eye is one of the most demanding tasks in ophthalmological practice. Patients often present with a high burden of suffering. The multifactorial origin of dry eye calls for a time-intensive, detailed history and differentiated diagnostic work-up. Treatment frequently poses a considerable challenge for the treating physicians and for the affected patients. Current diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations are based on the DEWS III (Dry Eye Workshop III) report of 2025.

Both herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) play a major role in the development of corneal disease. Following primary infection, both viruses establish lifelong latency in sensory ganglia and may be reactivated by triggering factors such as ultraviolet (UV) exposure, stress, fever, surgery, or immunosuppression. Clinically, ocular herpesvirus infections present with a broad spectrum of manifestations, and early differentiation between these entities is essential for appropriate diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. HSV keratitis is characterized by a recurrent course and includes epithelial, stromal, endothelial, and neurotrophic forms. Epithelial HSV keratitis results from active viral replication and typically presents as dendritic or geographic keratitis. Non-necrotizing stromal keratitis is predominantly caused by immune-mediated inflammatory responses without significant viral replication, whereas necrotizing stromal keratitis is thought to involve significant viral replication in combination with an excessive immune response. In HSV endotheliitis, both viral and immune-mediated mechanisms play a role. These clinical manifestations may be associated with keratouveitis, secondary glaucoma, iris atrophy, or corneal neovascularization. Recurrent episodes frequently lead to damage of the subbasal corneal nerve plexus, resulting in neurotrophic keratopathy. Varicella-zoster virus may also cause severe ocular complications in patients with herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO), including keratitis, uveitis, elevated intraocular pressure, neurotrophic corneal disease, and retinitis. Elderly and immunocompromised individuals are at particularly high risk of severe disease and postherpetic neuralgia. Diagnosis is primarily based on clinical findings and may be supported by corneal esthesiometry, in vivo confocal microscopy, and PCR-based virological testing. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of corneal tissue or aqueous humor is particularly valuable in atypical or treatment-resistant cases. Management includes topical and systemic antiviral agents such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, ganciclovir, and famciclovir. Immune-mediated stromal and endothelial keratitis additionally require anti-inflammatory therapy. Neurotrophic forms require regenerative therapies such as autologous serum eye drops, amniotic membrane transplantation, or the recombinant human nerve growth factor cenegermin. Although no licensed vaccine against HSV is currently available, recombinant herpes zoster vaccination provides effective protection against VZV-associated ocular complications.</p>","PeriodicalId":17904,"journal":{"name":"Klinische Monatsblatter fur Augenheilkunde","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149111709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
