Sorsby's fundus dystrophy is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner |
Sorsby's fundus dystrophy (SFD) is a very rare genetic disorder characterized by the loss of central vision.[1][2][3] It was first described by Sorsby and Mason in 1949.[4]
Symptoms
Patients typically begin lose their central vision in their 40s.[1]
Genetics
The inheritance pattern is autosomal dominant. It is related to a mutation in the TIMP3 gene.[1][5]
