Adult-Onset Presentations of Retinopathy Associated With Short Telomere Syndromes
Description
On this episode of the JVRD Author’s Forum podcast, Drs. Neil M. Bressler and Kristen E. Schratz discuss 'Adult-Onset Presentations of Retinopathy Associated With Short Telomere Syndromes,' published in the May/June 2025 issue of JVRD.
In this compelling episode, Host Dr. Timothy Murray and Drs. Bressler and Schratz of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine explore adult-onset retinal findings linked to short telomere syndromes—conditions more commonly associated with pediatric presentations. Learn how unexplained retinal vasculopathy in two adult patients led to a deeper understanding of systemic, life-threatening disorders, and why cross-specialty collaboration is key to early diagnosis. This episode underscores the critical role of retina specialists in identifying subtle ocular signs of complex genetic diseases.
