RLBP1-related retinopathy

RLBP1-related retinopathy is a rare eye condition that affects the retina. It is caused by genetic changes in both copies of the RLBP1 gene. Many people with this condition may have distinctive flecks in the retina, which can be seen during an eye exam. This condition is part of a group of retinal dystrophies and is sometimes known by other names such as Bothnia retinal dystrophy or fundus albipunctatus. The appearance of retinal flecks is one of the key characteristics noted in the available information.

People with this condition may show flecks in the retina during an eye examination. Additional details about other symptoms and visual changes are currently limited for this condition.

RLBP1-related retinopathy is caused by biallelic variants in the RLBP1 gene. This means that changes in both copies of the gene can lead to the development of the condition. The genetic nature of this condition explains why it is seen as an inherited retinal disorder.
