Patients with GFS may present with retinal VPTRs that respond to therapy with cryotherapy and TTT. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

It usually presents in childhood with nyctalopia. Central and peripheral retinoschisis is present. There is marked pigmentary changes similar to retinitis pigmentosa. Ref: Comprehensive Ophthalmology, A. K. Khurana, 4th edition, p271. [pgblazer.com]

Diagnosis and Prognosis: The diagnosis is made by an eye doctor based on the retina appearance and the abnormalities seen in a test called an ERG, or an electroretinogram. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Prognosis GFS has a progressive course. In most cases, visual loss occurs in the first two decades of life. Some improvement of visual acuity has been reported after treatments with cyclosporin A and bromocriptine. [orpha.net]

Etiology Mutations in the NR2E3 gene (formerly called PNR ) have been identified in some patients with GFS. NR2E3 (15q23) encodes a retinal nuclear receptor that is involved in the differentiation of photoreceptors. [orpha.net]

(Etiology) Goldmann-Favre Syndrome is a genetic disorder involving mutations in the NR2E3 gene, which codes for a nuclear receptor The syndrome is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait Autosomal recessive inheritance: Autosomal recessive conditions [dovemed.com]

The characteristic electroretinogram (ERG) findings were first described in 1990 and are important in the diagnosis of this genetic disease.[1] Etiology ESCS is an autosomal recessive retinal degeneration caused by a mutation in nuclear receptor subfamily [eyewiki.aao.org]
