Report highlights genetic association affecting serine metabolism in individuals with MacTel and neuropathy.
Macular telangiectasia (MacTel) is characterised by perifoveal capillary abnormalities, which can progress to retinal layer loss and cavitation-like changes. Though it occurs predominantly in isolation, a genetic association of MacTel has been noted. Our report aims to demonstrate one such association causing an alteration in serine metabolism leading to neuropathy and maculopathy secondary to Muller cell degeneration.
