CONE DYSTROPHY 3; COD3

Alternate names

CONE DYSTROPHY 3; COD3 Is also known as retinal cone dystrophy

Description

Progressive cone dystrophy usually presents in childhood or early adult life, with many patients developing rod photoreceptor involvement in later life, thereby leading to considerable overlap between progressive cone dystrophy and cone-rod dystrophy. Both progressive cone dystrophy and cone-rod dystrophy have been associated with mutation in the GUCA1A gene (Michaelides et al., 2006).Intrafamilial variability in GUCA1A-associated macular disease ranges from mild photoreceptor degeneration to central areolar choroidal dystrophy (CACD), a form of retinal degeneration that primarily involves the macula and is characterized by a well-defined atrophic region of retinal pigment epithelium and choriocapillaris in the latest stage (Chen et al., 2017).

Most common symptoms of CONE DYSTROPHY 3; COD3

  • Nystagmus
  • Blindness
  • Visual loss
  • Reduced visual acuity
  • Photophobia

CONE ROD DYSTROPHY

Alternate names

CONE ROD DYSTROPHY Is also known as human retinal gene 4, hrg4

Description

Cone rod dystrophies (CRDs) are inherited retinal dystrophies that belong to the group of pigmentary retinopathies.

Most common symptoms of CONE ROD DYSTROPHY

  • Visual impairment
  • Photophobia
  • Nyctalopia
  • Retinal degeneration
  • Abnormality of retinal pigmentation

PROGRESSIVE CONE DYSTROPHY

Alternate names

PROGRESSIVE CONE DYSTROPHY Is also known as cone dystrophy, autosomal dominant, cone dystrophy, retinal cone degeneration

Most common symptoms of PROGRESSIVE CONE DYSTROPHY

  • Visual impairment
  • Photophobia
  • Retinal degeneration
  • Progressive visual loss
  • Abnormality of retinal pigmentation

CENTRAL AREOLAR CHOROIDAL DYSTROPHY

Alternate names

CENTRAL AREOLAR CHOROIDAL DYSTROPHY Is also known as choroidal dystrophy, central areolar, choroidal sclerosis, cacd, central areolar choroidal sclerosis, areolar atrophy of the macula

Description

Central areolar choroidal dystrophy (CACD) is a hereditary macular disorder, usually presenting between the ages of 30-60, characterized by a large area of atrophy in the centre of the macula and the loss or absence of photoreceptors, retinal pigment epithelium and choriocapillaris in this area, resulting in a progressive decrease in visual acuity.

Most common symptoms of CENTRAL AREOLAR CHOROIDAL DYSTROPHY

  • Visual loss
  • Abnormal retinal morphology
  • Choriocapillaris atrophy
