AI Article Synopsis
- Genetic diseases affecting the macula and choroid have different inheritance patterns and can impact vision in various ways.
- Recent research has improved the understanding of the genetics behind these conditions, despite limited treatment options.
- Knowing the inheritance patterns can assist in early detection and help ophthalmologists preserve vision through monitoring and timely interventions, like treating choroidal neovascularization.
Article Abstract
Genetic diseases of the macula and choroid have various inheritance patterns and varying degrees of impact on vision. Herein, we review the literature including most recent advances in the understanding of the genetics of these diseases. Although many of these disorders have limited treatment options, knowledge of inheritance patterns can aid in early detection and with close monitoring can help the ophthalmologist preserve as much vision as possible (for example with early treatment of choroidal neovascularization).
