This is more likely to cause problems with mobility if the lower visual field is absent. Other conditions can be associated with a coloboma. Sometimes the eye may be reduced in size, a condition called microphthalmia, or there may be glaucoma, nystagmus, scotoma, or strabismus.

Their incidence has been estimated to be about 1 in 25,000. Type 1[edit] Type 1 is the most common form among the 5 types of HSAN.

Or the strange story of Kuru, a fatal illness affecting a tribe in Papua New Guinea known for its cannibalism. Both are forms of prion disease, caused by the abnormal folding of a protein and resulting in progressive neurodegeneration and death. While exactly how the protein malfunctions has been shrouded in mystery, scientists at The Scripps Research Institute now report in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) that reducing copper in the body delays the onset of disease.

Mice lacking a copper-transport gene lived significantly longer when infected with a prion disease than did normal mice. Zombie Proteins.
