Approximately 20-30% of patients with RP also exhibit extra-ocular manifestations in the context of a syndrome. This manuscript discusses the broad spectrum of syndromes associated with RP, pathogenic mechanisms, clinical manifestations, differential diagnoses, clinical management approaches, and future perspectives. Given the diverse clinical and genetic landscape of syndromic RP, the diagnosis may be challenging. However, an accurate and timely diagnosis is essential for optimal clinical management, prognostication, and potential treatment. Broadly, the syndromes associated with RP can be categorized into ciliopathies, inherited metabolic disorders, mitochondrial disorders, and miscellaneous syndromes. Among the ciliopathies associated with RP, Usher syndrome and Bardet-Biedl syndrome are the most well-known. Less common ciliopathies include Cohen syndrome, Joubert syndrome, cranioectodermal dysplasia, asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy, Mainzer-Saldino syndrome, and RHYNS syndrome. Several inherited metabolic disorders can present with RP including Zellweger spectrum disorders, adult Refsum disease, α-methylacyl-CoA racemase deficiency, certain mucopolysaccharidoses, ataxia with vitamin E deficiency, abetalipoproteinemia, several neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses, mevalonic aciduria, PKAN/HARP syndrome, PHARC syndrome, and methylmalonic acidaemia with homocystinuria type cobalamin (cbl) C disease. Due to the mitochondria's essential role in supplying continuous energy to the retina, disruption of mitochondrial function can lead to RP, as seen in Kearns-Sayre syndrome, NARP syndrome, primary coenzyme Q10 deficiency, SSBP1-associated disease, and long chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. Lastly, Cockayne syndrome and PERCHING syndrome can present with RP, but they do not fit the abovementioned hierarchy and are thus categorized as 'Miscellaneous'. Several first-in-human clinical trials are underway or in preparation for some of these syndromic forms of RP.</p>","PeriodicalId":21159,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Retinal and Eye Research","volume":" ","pages":"101324"},"PeriodicalIF":18.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142903530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are different approaches to classification, depending on the onset time or the etiology of ptosis, and the clinical characteristics of congenital and acquired ptosis also differ.

In the last decades, mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) demonstrated promising abilities in improving symptoms associated to corneal diseases or alleviating these affections, especially through their anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and pro-regenerative properties. More recently, MSC therapeutic potential was shown to be mediated by the molecules they release, and particularly by their extracellular vesicles (EVs; MSC-EVs). Consequently, using MSC-EVs emerged as a pioneering strategy to mitigate the risks related to cell therapy while providing MSC therapeutic benefits. Despite the promises given by MSC- and MSC-EV-based approaches, many improvements are considered to optimize the therapeutic significance of these therapies. This review aspires to provide a comprehensive and detailed overview of current knowledge on corneal therapies involving MSCs and MSC-EVs, the strategies currently under evaluation, and the gaps remaining to be addressed for clinical implementation. From encapsulating MSCs or their EVs into biomaterials to enhance the ocular retention time to loading MSC-EVs with therapeutic drugs, a wide range of ground-breaking strategies are currently contemplated to lead to the safest and most effective treatments. Promising research initiatives also include diverse gene therapies and the targeting of specific cell types through the modification of the EV surface, paving the way for future therapeutic innovations.

The discovery of CCT in the transplantation context triggered a re-interpretation of prior transplantation studies that generally did not include specific CCT assays and thereby broadly emphasized the cell replacement model, reflecting the prevailing understanding of retinal transplantation biology at that time. In addition to clarifying our understanding of photoreceptor biology, CCT has raised the possibility of developing treatments to replenish molecular deficiencies in diseased photoreceptor cells. As the CCT field evolves, investigators have used diverse terminology, and implemented different CCT assays following transplantation in animal models. The non-standardized terminology of CCT and absent minimal assay standards for detection can hinder communication between investigators and comparison between studies. In this review, we discuss the current understanding of CCT, provide an overview of transplantation and regeneration studies in small and large animals, and propose terminology and a minimal assay standard for CCT.

Perturbation of this delicate metabolic balance has been identified in the aging retina, as well as in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of blindness in the Western world.
