Herein, we describe a case of a 3-year-old boy with a documented family history of North Carolina macular dystrophy who presented with a subfoveal choroidal neovascular membrane in addition to the macular dystrophic changes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Macula

  Although fundus changes are evident in the periphery, all tests revealed that functional loss is restricted to the macula. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Retinal Damage

  For example, a test called fluorescein angiography can detect retinal damage from macular dystrophy. [allaboutvision.com]

  For example; a test called, 'flourescein angiography,' can detect retinal damage from macular dystrophy. [disabled-world.com]

  Retinal damage caused by photodynamic therapy can be reduced using BDNF. Adv Exp Med Biol 2006; 572:297-302. 8.Wang H, Van Patten Y, Sugino IK, Zarbin MA. Migration and proliferation of retinal pigment epithelium on extracellular matrix ligands. [njms.rutgers.edu]

• Long Arm

  The authors initially reported mapping this disease by linkage to the long arm of chromosome 6. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The gene for this disorder has been identified as the TIMP3 gene, which is located on the long arm of Chromosome 22. [retinaaustraliansw.com.au]

• Myopathy

  Figure 6 Geographic atrophy is a feature of late AMD, but may also be observed in mitochondrial myopathies (MELAS, MERRF & MIDD) and central areolar choroidal dystrophy. Occasionally Stargardt's flecks and atrophy may be mistaken for AMD. [visioncareprofessional.com]

Treatment Treatment Options: For patients with choroidal neovascularization, standard treatment for neovascularization may be used. Low vision aids can be useful for other forms of the disorder with decreased visual acuity. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

There are two main types of clinical studies: Clinical trials determine if a new test or treatment for a disease is effective and safe by comparing groups receiving different tests/treatments. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

In the MARINA study, with 2 years of study treatment, the rates of events classified as arterial thromboembolism according to APTC criteria were similar among the treatment groups. 13 Follow-up is continuing through 2 years of treatment in our study to [nejm.org]

Regardless, the relatively good prognosis and variable phenotypic appearance may result in NCMD being under diagnosed worldwide. [oxfordmedicine.com]

Because MCDR1 has good long-term functional prognosis, there might be an early transdifferentiation of the new locus of fixation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

As some authors still doubt the good prognosis of this disease, our results should be added to the experience of others. [link.springer.com]

Prognosis - there is no progression. [patient.info]

Diagnosis and Prognosis: Macular disease, including North Carolina macular dystrophy, can usually be diagnosed by your ophthalmologist by examination of the retina. The vison is very variable, ranging from normal to very poor vision. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

These data present evidence that misfolding and aberrant accumulation of EFEMP1 may cause drusen formation and cellular degeneration and play an important role in the etiology of both ML and AMD. [pnas.org]

They are organised into groups, and further divided into clinical, etiological or histopathological sub-types. [orpha.net]

In addition, due to the symmetric annular nature of the macular changes at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium, it is necessary to consider various etiologies of bull’s eye maculopathy, including cone dystrophy, medication toxicity (phenothiazines [healio.com]
