Here, I am looking for examples for genetic or innate visual dysfunctions. Do these dysfunctions decline, are they improving or are they stable? What is the final result: blindness or left visual capacity, perfect vision?
Thanks in advance!
Age-related macular degeneration could be an example; some genetic variations have been associated with this condition
Some examples for genetic or innate visual dysfunctions:
- hereditary retinal dystrophies (cone-rod dystrophy, rod-cone dystrophy, Statgardt, Usher) associated with a decline of visual function
- oculo cutaneous albinism
- Congenital achromatopsy
- optic neuropathy ( hereditary: autosomal recessive or dominant) with a decline of visual function
Retinitis pigmentosa represents one of hereditary retinal distropies and is an example of genetic visual dysfunctions. For more details could you please refer to the enclosed paper. Good luck!
