KEGG   DISEASE: Familial flecked retina syndrome
Entry
H00825                      Disease                                
Name
Familial flecked retina syndrome
  Subgroup
Doyne honeycomb degeneration of retina (DHRD) [DS:H02110]
Basal laminar drusen (BLD) [DS:H02108]
Fundus albipunctatus (FA)
Retinitis punctata albescens (RPA)
Bietti crystalline corneoretinal dystrophy (BCD) [DS:H02107]
Description
The flecked retina syndrome is characterized by multiple deep, yellow to yellowish white fundus lesions of variable size and shape in eyes without vascular or optic nerve disease. Originally this group consisted of four diseases: fundus albipunctatus, fundus flavimaculatus, familial drusen and fleck retina of Kandori. Doyne honeycomb degeneration of retina (DHRD) and Basal laminar drusen (BLD) are included in familial drusen. However, there are far more diseases with fleck-like deposits in the retina, including primary hereditary ocular diseases such as retinitis punctata albescens (RPA) or Bietti's crystalline dystrophy (BCD), neuro-ophthalmologic syndromes such as Kjellin's syndrome, and secondary retinal flecks due to metabolic disorders.
