CDHR1-related retinopathy

CDHR1-related retinopathy is a rare eye condition caused by changes in the CDHR1 gene. It includes disorders that have been diagnosed as cone-rod dystrophy 15, retinal macular dystrophy, or retinitis pigmentosa 65. These conditions affect the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye, which is essential for vision. Because the disease is caused by gene variants, it can present in different ways. The information available is based on cases defined by genetic changes and their impact on the retina. Research is still developing to better understand the full range of symptoms and challenges faced by people with this condition.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

CDHR1-related retinopathy is caused by changes in the CDHR1 gene. These genetic variants lead to problems in the retina, which is the part of the eye responsible for capturing light and beginning the process of vision. Specific risk factors and the full mechanism by which these gene changes affect vision are still being studied.

Information about treatment is currently limited for this condition.

Information about prognosis is currently limited for this condition.

Information about current research and future directions is currently limited for this condition. Ongoing studies are needed to better understand how gene variants in CDHR1 lead to the different types of retinopathy observed.
