Genetic Eye Diseases

Introduction

Genetic disorders are diseases that result from a change in the normal DNA sequence. Most genetic disorders are caused by multifactorial means, involving a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Thousands of human diseases are now known to be caused by single gene disorders and chromosomal abnormalities, many of which involve eye or ocular adnexa sequelae. The human eye is a complex and unique sense organ in allowing for many of the clinical features to be characterized with an unaided bare eye or simple ophthalmic examination tool. Thus the phenotypes of many ophthalmic genetic conditions have been well characterized, and the ophthalmic exam may offer important information in detecting the underlying genetic disorder. Presented in the following sections are reported eye features, inheritance patterns, known associated gene or chromosomal abnormality, and MIM reference number for selected genetic diseases [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11].
