Ophthalmological Findings in Metabolic Diseases

Abstract

Inherited metabolic diseases are rare genetic disorders caused by synthesis disorders affecting protein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolisms, impaired enzyme activity, and deficiency of cofactors or transporters. More than 1000 inherited metabolic diseases have been reported. The prevalence of each disease is rare. However, the overall prevalence is not rare as expected. Inherited metabolic diseases can occur at any age, from prenatal to adulthood. The clinical features are mostly progressive when left untreated. Most diseases occur at young ages and often with more than one organ involvement. In Inherited metabolic diseases, eye involvement may be primary or secondary, and the findings may be local or systemic. The toxic effect of abnormal metabolites or accumulation of normal metabolites is usually responsible for the pathogenesis. Early recognition of treatable inherited metabolic diseases is important as it may change the treatment outcome of the patient. Ophthalmological findings may be in the form of cataract, corneal clouding, retinitis pigmentosa, cherry red spot and optic atrophy. Bilateral symmetrical involvement is expected. In this article, eye findings that can be seen in hereditary metabolic diseases will be discussed.

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.


Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.


The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
