Choroidal Dystrophy, Central Areolar 2; Cacd2

Description

Central areolar choroidal dystrophy (CACD) is a hereditary retinal disorder that principally affects the macula, often resulting in a well-defined area of atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and choriocapillaris in the center of the macula. Dysfunction of macular photoreceptors usually leads to a decrease in visual acuity, generally occurring between the ages of 30 and 60 years (summary by Boon et al., 2009).For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of central areolar choroidal dystrophy, see CACD1 (OMIM ).
