In Egypt, ocular genetic disorders are not uncommon among other genetic disorders. Consanguinity is high, suggesting high incidence of autosomal recessive inheritance of genetic disorders with an ocular component. Proper systemic assessment of all cases with ocular anomalies is a necessity due to the high percentage of non-isolated ocular anomalies. Genetic counseling of parents would help in reducing recurrence rates through prenatal diagnosis whenever possible.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
