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]

There is presently no effective treatment for the disorder, but visual function can be improved with low vision aids. [djo.eg.net]

While treatment options for complications such as retinoschisis and cystoid macular edema may be recommended, currently there is not a cure or specific targeted treatment for Goldmann Favre syndrome. [patientworthy.com]

Examinations performed before and during treatment were included visual acuity (VA), contrast sensitivity measured with briefly presented grating targets (grating CS) and the Pelli-Robson chart (P-R… CONTINUE READING [pdfs.semanticscholar.org]

Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment of this complication is of utmost importance [ 14 ]. [karger.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]

To see if the medicine can decrease retina fluid and help prevent vision loss. Eligibility: - People at least 12 years old with RCD or ESCS. Those with ESCS must have two mutations in the NR2E3 gene. [clinicaltrials.gov]

Our experience confirms that anti-VEGF therapy in ESCS patients can be potentially vision-saving and can prevent chronic visual deterioration secondary to CNV. Statement of Ethics The authors have no ethical conflicts to disclose. [karger.com]

"This research could help identify therapeutic agents that would prevent, ameliorate or possibly cure these blinding diseases related to defective renewal of retinal cells," said Krzysztof Palczewski, Ph.D., a senior scientist involved in the research [sciencedaily.com]
