Disease IDSourceNameDescription
248200 OMIMStargardt disease 1 (STGD1)A common hereditary macular degeneration. It is characterized by decreased central vision, atrophy of the macula and underlying retinal pigment epithelium, and frequent presence of prominent flecks in the posterior pole of the retina. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
248200 OMIMStargardt disease 1 (STGD1)A common hereditary macular degeneration. It is characterized by decreased central vision, atrophy of the macula and underlying retinal pigment epithelium, and frequent presence of prominent flecks in the posterior pole of the retina. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
601718 OMIMRetinitis pigmentosa 19 (RP19)A retinal dystrophy belonging to the group of pigmentary retinopathies. Retinitis pigmentosa is characterized by retinal pigment deposits visible on fundus examination and primary loss of rod photoreceptor cells followed by secondary loss of cone photoreceptors. Patients typically have night vision blindness and loss of midperipheral visual field. As their condition progresses, they lose their far peripheral visual field and eventually central vision as well. RP19 is characterized by choroidal atrophy. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
604116 OMIMCone-rod dystrophy 3 (CORD3)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.
153800 OMIMMacular degeneration, age-related, 2 (ARMD2)A form of age-related macular degeneration, a multifactorial eye disease and the most common cause of irreversible vision loss in the developed world. In most patients, the disease is manifest as ophthalmoscopically visible yellowish accumulations of protein and lipid that lie beneath the retinal pigment epithelium and within an elastin-containing structure known as Bruch membrane. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
