Disease ID | Source | Name | Description |
608194 | OMIM | Cone-rod dystrophy 13 (CORD13) | An inherited retinal dystrophy characterized by retinal pigment deposits visible on fundus examination, predominantly in the macular region, and initial loss of cone photoreceptors followed by rod degeneration. This leads to decreased visual acuity and sensitivity in the central visual field, followed by loss of peripheral vision. Severe loss of vision occurs earlier than in retinitis pigmentosa, due to cone photoreceptors degenerating at a higher rate than rod photoreceptors. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
613826 | OMIM | Leber congenital amaurosis 6 (LCA6) | A severe dystrophy of the retina, typically becoming evident in the first years of life. Visual function is usually poor and often accompanied by nystagmus, sluggish or near-absent pupillary responses, photophobia, high hyperopia and keratoconus. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
