Mutations in ABCA4 cause Stargardt disease and other blinding autosomal recessive retinal disorders. Read More…
To investigate the clinical and electrophysiologic natural history of Stargardt disease and correlate with the genotype. Clinical history, examination, and electrophysiologic assessment were undertaken in a longitudinal survey. Read More…
Stargardt type 3 (STGD3) disease is a juvenile macular dystrophy caused by mutations in the ELOVL4 (Elongation of very long chain fatty acids 4) gene. Read More…
Inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs) and inherited optic neuropathies (IONs) are rare diseases defined by specific clinical and molecular features. The relative prevalence of these conditions was determined in Southern France. Read More…
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a heterogeneous condition of high prevalence and complex etiology involving genetic as well as environmental factors. Read More…
To measure macular visual function in patients with unstable fixation, to define the photoreceptor source of this function, and to estimate its test-retest repeatability as a prerequisite to clinical trials. Read More…
Inherited retinal disorders are clinically and genetically heterogeneous with more than 150 gene defects accounting for the diversity of disease phenotypes. Read More…
