Vitreoretinochoroidopathy (VRCP) is a rare, early-onset retinal dystrophy characterised by distinct bands of circumferential pigmentary degeneration in the peripheral retina and developmental eye defects. ADVIRC is caused by mutations in the bestrophin-1 (BEST1) gene. Bestrophin-1 is a transmembrane protein of the basolateral membrane of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) that acts as a chloride channel.
