    Summary: This third volume, with three supporting editors, broadens its focus on genetic eye research from the Asian to the global scale. New efforts and a new awareness have sparked important discussions on genetic eye research, and new plans are being implemented to identify the genes responsible for numerous eye diseases. The book introduces the latest findings on genetics in eye diseases, gene therapy, and genome-wide association analysis, and the efforts of the Global Eye Genetic Consortium (GEGC). The books editors have been instrumental in developing strategies for discovering the new genes involved in many eye diseases. All chapters were written by leading researchers working on eye genetics from the fields of Human Genetics, Ophthalmology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Sensory Sciences, and Clinical Research. Advances in Vision Research, Volume III is a major resource for all researchers, clinicians, clinical researchers, and allied eye health professionals with an interest in eye diseases around the globe.

    Delayed renal and extrarenal complications after primarily completely successful renal transplantations is surveyed. All cases in which a surgical or clinical complication, a rejection or a complication of the immunosuppressive treatment had occurred were omitted. Primarily, 84 out of 476 transplantations (17%) were completely successful. After six months, the continued course was entirely uneventful in 47 of these cases. In 37 some kind of renal and/or extrarenal complication occurred 6-114 months after the primarily successful course. The complications could not be correlated to histocompatibility, sex, age or basic disease. During the last years, when the basic immunosuppressive treatment was reduced and principally alternative day treatment of corticosteroids was used, the complications diminished.
