Basic Research Studies
Biological Basis of Ocular Pain and Photophobia
Our laboratory is dedicated to the study of the neurologic pathways and receptors that are key in the perception of pain in the eye, particularly in response to light. We are using a combination of animal models of genetic conditions that cause sustained light sensitivity (photophobia) in humans to investigate potential mechanisms of action and possible targets for therapy. The laboratory employs a combination of behavioral, neural tracing, molecular genetic strategies, as well as immunohistochemistry and gene expression methods to investigate these conditions.

Clinical Research Studies

Genetics of Age-related Maculopathy (GARM)

We are participating in a multicenter study with University of Pittsburgh to understand the genetic and environmental risks that contribute to age-related maculopathy (ARM), one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness in the United States and other industrialized nations. The study is designed to identify genes that alter susceptibility to ARM and determine the extent to which variants in these genes and other factors affect one's risk of developing the condition. Findings may lead to the development of therapeutic and preventive strategies as well as to help individuals determine their future risk of developing ARM. Study candidates include patients with macular degeneration and their children (>49 years old), as well as the spouses or partners of these children, and additional family members of ARM patients.

Rapid, Non-Invasive, Regional Functional Imaging of the Retina

The Institute is participating in a study funded by the National Institutes of Health to monitor the responses of the pupil to light as a method for detecting regional losses of function of the retina.

Because diabetics develop damage initially to certain parts of the retina before they have more serious damage, the ultimate goal of this research is to develop a simple, noninvasive, rapid method for widespread screening of diabetics in order to identify those who may require medical attention and/or therapy for diabetic retinopathy. The risks from this study are minimal. The basic device used for monitoring the eye positions and pupil changes is commercially available and uses invisible levels of light to measure the eye.

The instrument has been constructed by Neuro Kinetics Inc., a company that has licensed this technology from the University of Pittsburgh, which holds the patent on the design and use of this instrument with Dr. Gorin listed as the primary inventor. (Dr. Gorin has a financial interest in this research.)

Genetic Studies in Inherited Ocular Disorders
There is a large number of inherited eye disorders that predispose individuals and their families to develop a condition that would impair their vision moderately or severely at birth or later in life. Some of those disorders can also affect the physical appearance of their eyes or they can be part of a more complex syndrome. Identifying the genes and alterations that cause those disorders will aid in the diagnosis, counseling, treatment and possible prevention of such conditions. Diagnosis of presence or absence of the condition in other members of a family can help to find the causative genetic alteration, as well as to understand the clinical variability that can be caused by a common genetic change.  Part of our research is to understand the clinical characteristics of these conditions so that we can better diagnosis them in patients and recognize subtle changes in their effects on the eye and vision. Many of these molecular diagnostic tests are unable to find all of the variations that can cause a specific eye condition and there is an ongoing need for research to find the additional genes and causative variants.

Clinical Characterization, Genetic Testing, and Visual Function in Patients with Stargardt Disease
The primary goal of this study is to perform a comprehensive analysis of visual function in patients diagnosed with Stargardt disease.  Stargardt disease is an early onset form of macular degeneration caused by a number of mutations in the abcr gene.  Before a treatment trial can proceed, baseline measures defining a broad range of functional parameters, must be obtained in order to evaluate the efficacy of treatment. Molecular genetic testing is being performed to confirm the Stargardt diagnosis and better understand the diversity of the condition. Our goal in this study is to obtain all necessary baseline measures of visual function with a battery of established clinical electrodiagnostic and behavioral tests, to correlate these physiological parameters with specific genetic mutations, and to establish which diagnostic tests can provide the most reliable measures of retinal dysfunction and retinal cell death (atrophy).  No treatment will be administered as part of this protocol.

Comparison of Methods to Detect Early Retinal Changes that can be associated with Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) Exposure  (to start June 2008)
Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) is an oral medication commonly used in the treatment of several chronic autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjögren syndrome.  Patients taking Plaquenil are frequently sent to an eye doctor to be monitored for possible effects of the medication, in particular on the part of the eye called the retina, which is the light sensitive layer at the back of the eye.  Plaquenil has been found to cause retinal damage in a small number of individuals, but most people can take the medication for years at normal dosages without any damage to the eye or their sight. Because of the reports of irreversible retinal damage in a small group of patients, screening for Plaquenil-related retinal toxicity is still considered by many to be an important part of patient management. However, there is considerable debate as to which tests provide the most sensitive and specific detection of early retinal changes that may beindicative of damage from this medication. Over the past 15 years, we have seen many patients who are taking Plaquenil and have assessed their visual function using one or more diagnostic tests and many have had repeated annual testing.  This study is intended to review the existing data from many of those individuals who had some or all of their testing done at the JSEI Visual Physiology Laboratory to assess the reproducibility of results obtained from these various tests and, more importantly, to determine which tests have a higher degree of sensitivity to detect early retinal changes that might reflect an toxic response to Plaquenil therapy.
