Abstrakt: Background: Inherited primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in Beagle dogs is a well-established large animal model of glaucoma and is caused by a G661R missense mutation in the ADAMTS10 gene. Using this model, the study describes early clinical disease markers for canine glaucoma.
Methods: Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) was used to assess nine adult, ADAMTS10 -mutant (median age 45.6 months, range 28.8-52.8 months; mean diurnal intraocular pressure (IOP): 29.9 +/- SEM 0.44 mmHg) and three related age-matched control Beagles (mean diurnal IOP: 18.0 +/- SEM 0.53 mmHg).
Results: Of all the optic nerve head (ONH) parameters evaluated, the loss of myelin peak height in the horizontal plane was most significant (from 154 +/- SEM 38.4 μm to 9.3 +/- SEM 22.1 μm; p < 0.01). There was a strong significant negative correlation between myelin peak height and IOP (Spearman correlation: -0.78; p < 0.003). There were no significant differences in the thickness of any retinal layers evaluated.
Conclusions: SD-OCT is a useful tool to detect early glaucomatous damage to the ONH in dogs before vision loss. Loss in myelin peak height without inner retinal thinning was identified as an early clinical disease marker. This suggests that initial degenerative changes are mostly due to the loss of myelin.
