Systemic Diseases Associated with Retinal Dystrophies

Abstract

Inherited retinal degeneration (IRD) may occur in isolation or as part of a multi-systemic condition. Ocular manifestations may be the presenting symptom of a syndromic disease and can include retinitis pigmentosa, cone-rod dystrophy, or maculopathy. Alternatively, patients affected with syndromic disease may already have other systemic manifestations at the time retinal disease is diagnosed. Some of these systemic diseases can cause significant morbidity. Here, we review several of these syndromic IRDs and their underlying genetic causes. Early recognition and referral for systemic evaluation and surveillance may lead to early intervention and an improved outcome. Obtaining a molecular diagnosis can be beneficial in securing a definitive diagnosis, especially in cases with atypical presentations. A genetic diagnosis may also be informative with regard to prognosis and potential therapies. Effective management and rehabilitation for patients with syndromic retinal dystrophy requires a comprehensive genetic-based team approach involving patients, family members, ophthalmologists, primary care physicians, and geneticists.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
