Autosomal dominant iridogoniodysgenesis: genetic features. 1983

W G Pearce, and H T Wyatt, and T A Boyd, and R S Ombres, and A B Salter

Twenty-two members of two families have been identified as being affected with iridogoniodysgenesis. The major clinical features of this disorder are mesodermal remnants in the iridociliary angle associated with abnormal angle vasculature, marked hypoplasia of the iris stroma and increased intraocular pressure leading to glaucoma. The involvement of the two eyes is remarkably symmetric. Pedigree analysis of the larger family provided firm evidence for regular autosomal dominant inheritance as the mechanism of genetic transmission.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007429 Intraocular Pressure The pressure of the fluids in the eye. Ocular Tension,Intraocular Pressures,Ocular Tensions,Pressure, Intraocular,Pressures, Intraocular,Tension, Ocular,Tensions, Ocular
D007498 Iris The most anterior portion of the uveal layer, separating the anterior chamber from the posterior. It consists of two layers - the stroma and the pigmented epithelium. Color of the iris depends on the amount of melanin in the stroma on reflection from the pigmented epithelium.

D005901 Glaucoma An ocular disease, occurring in many forms, having as its primary characteristics an unstable or a sustained increase in the intraocular pressure which the eye cannot withstand without damage to its structure or impairment of its function. The consequences of the increased pressure may be manifested in a variety of symptoms, depending upon type and severity, such as excavation of the optic disk, hardness of the eyeball, corneal anesthesia, reduced visual acuity, seeing of colored halos around lights, disturbed dark adaptation, visual field defects, and headaches.

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
