Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Iris flocculi:

1.	1,3,4,6- tetra- O- acetyl- 2- azido- 2- deoxyglucopyranose (TAAD)IBA 09/01/2019 - "Changes across generations in iris flocculi occurred in a Japanese family with TAAD. " 02/01/2011 - "At dissection, the size of the aortic aneurysm ranged from 40 mm to 95 mm. Extravascular, ocular, skeletal, nervous and pulmonary traits were variably associated with TAAD, with iris flocculi being most common. " 01/01/2010 - "The novel Asp26Tyr mutation resides in SM alpha-actin subdomain 1 and is linked to TAAD with hypertrophy and disarray of SMCs and severe migraine, but not to livedo reticularis or iris flocculi. "
2.	Actins (F Actin)IBA 01/01/2019 - "Central cysts of the iris pigment epithelium, or iris flocculi, are frequently reported in the literature in association with thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection due to smooth muscle alpha-actin 2 (ACTA2) mutations. " 01/01/2010 - "The novel Asp26Tyr mutation resides in SM alpha-actin subdomain 1 and is linked to TAAD with hypertrophy and disarray of SMCs and severe migraine, but not to livedo reticularis or iris flocculi. "
