We used Cox proportional hazards models to evaluate the longitudinal association between RetiAGE and incident COPD, adjusting for calendar age, gender, smoking, asthma history, and socio-economic status. In addition, we performed a cross-sectional analysis using generalised linear models to examine the association between RetiAGE and baseline respiratory function, specifically the forced expiratory volume in 1 s to forced vital capacity ratio (FEV1/FVC) and peak expiratory flow (PEF), adjusting for the same confounders.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Among 45 438 UK Biobank participants without a history of COPD at baseline, 448 (0.9%) developed COPD over a mean follow-up period of 9.8 ± 0.7 years.

Challenges in providing genetic counselling for LHON include its mitochondrial inheritance pattern, different haplogroups, incomplete penetrance and that it predominantly affects males. Accurate genetic counselling aims to avoid incorrect disease-risk assessment and delays in either diagnosis or implementation of psychosocial support. Families are also empowered to make autonomous health decisions regarding potential trigger factors for LHON vision loss and informed reproductive choices. Using clinical vignettes, this review demonstrates that an increased awareness of LHON amongst eye care, general and genetic health professionals can address challenges and misconceptions.</p>","PeriodicalId":55253,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143081391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
