Cystoid macular edema(DCMD)

MedGen UID:
7435
Concept ID:
C0024440
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: CYSTOID MACULAR DYSTROPHY; DCMD; MACULAR DYSTROPHY, DOMINANT CYSTOID
SNOMED CT: Cystoid macular edema (193387007); CME - cystoid macular edema (193387007)
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal dominant inheritance
MedGen UID:
141047
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

Dominant cystoid macular dystrophy (DCMD) is a progressive retinal dystrophy characterized primarily by early-onset cystoid fluid collections in the neuroretina (summary by Saksens et al., 2015). [from OMIM]

MedGen UID:
7435
Concept ID:
C0024440
Disease or Syndrome

Strabismus
MedGen UID:
21337
Concept ID:
C0038379
Disease or Syndrome
A misalignment of the eyes so that the visual axes deviate from bifoveal fixation. The classification of strabismus may be based on a number of features including the relative position of the eyes, whether the deviation is latent or manifest, intermittent or constant, concomitant or otherwise and according to the age of onset and the relevance of any associated refractive error.
Macular dystrophy
MedGen UID:
196451
Concept ID:
C0730292
Disease or Syndrome
Macular dystrophy is a nonspecific term for premature retinal cell aging and cell death, generally confied to the macula in which no clear extrinsic cause is evident.
Autosomal recessive pericentral pigmentary retinopathy
MedGen UID:
340314
Concept ID:
C1849398
Disease or Syndrome
A subtype of retinitis pigmentosa in which, instead of the pathology starting in the mid-periphery like typical retinitis pigmentosa, the disease starts in the near periphery closer to the vascular arcades and tends to spare the far periphery.

Retinitis pigmentosa 78
MedGen UID:
1378790
Concept ID:
C4479481
Disease or Syndrome
Retinitis pigmentosa-78 (RP78) is an autosomal recessive retinal dystrophy that presents in the third to fourth decade with central visual disturbance, visual field defects, and nyctalopia. Fundus examination reveals optic disc pallor, attenuated retinal vessels, and irregular midperipheral intraretinal pigment migration (Arno et al., 2017). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of retinitis pigmentosa, see 268000.
Retinitis pigmentosa 83
MedGen UID:
1648404
Concept ID:
C4748536
Disease or Syndrome
Retinitis pigmentosa-83 (RP83) is characterized by onset of night blindness in the first decade of life, with decreased central vision in the second decade of life in association with retinal degeneration. The retinal dystrophy is associated with cataract, and macular edema has also been reported in some patients (Holtan et al., 2019).
Blau syndrome
MedGen UID:
1684759
Concept ID:
C5201146
Disease or Syndrome
Blau syndrome is characterized by the triad of granulomatous arthritis, uveitis, and dermatitis. First described in 1985, it was considered to be distinct from sarcoidosis due to the early age of onset and autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. Published reports of sporadic cases of children with 'early-onset sarcoidosis' (EOS) with granulomatous involvement of different organs, primarily affecting joints, eyes, and skin, were suspected to represent the same disorder because the patients' characteristics were nearly identical. Subsequently, identical NOD2 mutations were identified in patients with Blau syndrome as well as in patients diagnosed with EOS, confirming earlier suspicions that they represented the same disease (summary by Borzutzky et al., 2010). Unlike older children diagnosed with sarcoidosis, these patients have no apparent pulmonary involvement; however, the disease is progressive and may result in severe complications such as blindness and/or joint destruction (Shetty and Gedalia, 1998).
Retinitis pigmentosa 86
MedGen UID:
1684789
Concept ID:
C5231428
Disease or Syndrome
Retinitis pigmentosa-86 (RP86) is characterized by night blindness followed by progressive narrowing of visual fields and decline in visual acuity, with typical findings of RP on fundus examination, including attenuated retinal vessels, waxy pallor of the optic disc, and bone spicule-like pigmentation (de Bruijn et al., 2018). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of retinitis pigmentosa, see 268000.
Retinitis pigmentosa 88
MedGen UID:
1720448
Concept ID:
C5394208
Disease or Syndrome
Retinitis pigmentosa-88 (RP88) is characterized by night blindness and constriction of peripheral visual fields, with mildly reduced visual acuity. Examination shows typical findings of RP, including attenuated retinal vessels, pale optic discs, and pigment deposits in the peripheral retinal pigment epithelium (Zobor et al., 2018; Hu et al., 2019; Albarry et al., 2019). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of RP, see 268000.
Retinitis pigmentosa 90
MedGen UID:
1733837
Concept ID:
C5436588
Disease or Syndrome
Retinitis pigmentosa-90 (RP90) is characterized by early-onset night blindness, within the first decade of life. Patients exhibit other typical features of RP, including retinal vessel attenuation, optic disc pallor, and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) atrophy and pigmentation abnormalities. Macular pseudocoloboma and cystoid macular edema have also been observed (Pierrache et al., 2017). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of RP, see 268000.
