Synonyms: LORD; RETINAL DEGENERATION, LATE-ONSET, AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT
SNOMED CT: Autosomal dominant late-onset retinal degeneration (719431007); Late-onset retinal degeneration (719431007)
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal dominant inheritance
MedGen UID:

•Concept ID:
C0443147
•
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele.

Definition

Late-onset retinal degeneration (LORD) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by onset in the fifth to sixth decade with night blindness and punctate yellow-white deposits in the retinal fundus, progressing to severe central and peripheral degeneration, with choroidal neovascularization and chorioretinal atrophy (Hayward et al., 2003). [from OMIM]

Clinical features

From HPO
Retinal degeneration
MedGen UID:
48432
•Concept ID:
C0035304
•
Finding
A nonspecific term denoting degeneration of the retinal pigment epithelium and/or retinal photoreceptor cells.
See: Feature record | Search on this feature
Retinal disorder
MedGen UID:
11209
•Concept ID:
C0035309
•
Disease or Syndrome
Any noninflammatory disease of the retina. This nonspecific term is retained here because of its wide use in the literature, but if possible new annotations should indicate the precise type of retinal abnormality.

Scotoma
MedGen UID:
19902
•Concept ID:
C0036454
•
Finding
A regional and pathological increase of the light detection threshold in any region of the visual field surrounded by a field of normal or relatively well-preserved vision.

Choroidal neovascularization
MedGen UID:
154726
•Concept ID:
C0600518
•
Pathologic Function
Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is the creation of new blood vessels in the choroid layer of the eye.

Visual loss
MedGen UID:
784038
•Concept ID:
C3665386
•
Finding
Loss of visual acuity (implying that vision was better at a certain time point in life). Otherwise the term reduced visual acuity should be used (or a subclass of that).

Adult-onset night blindness
MedGen UID:
870346
•Concept ID:
C4024790
•
Disease or Syndrome
Inability to see well at night or in poor light with onset in adulthood.

Sub-RPE deposits
MedGen UID:
1615797
•Concept ID:

•
Finding
Deposits accumulating between the retinal pigment epithelium and Bruch's membrane.
