Mild psychomotorretardation is sometimes seen. High levels of keratin sulfate are found in the urine. Genetics Mutations in the COL2A1 gene (12q13.11-q13.2) coding for type II collagen is responsible for this autosomal dominant disorder.[disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
The cardinal features included hyperextensibility of the joints, vitreoretinal degeneration with cataracts, and facial abnormalities, comprising hypertelorism, prominent eyes, downslanting of the palpebral fissures, mid-face recession with a short nose[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cerebellar atrophy with ataxia is found in some patients. Genetics This is an autosomal recessive disorder secondary to homozygous mutations in the COL18A1 gene (21q22.3).[disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Many of the diseases of the peripheral retina can be divided into trophic (nutritional), tractional, and a combination of trophic plus tractional etiologies.[books.google.com]
P athophysiology The etiology of lattice is questionable. It appears to be due to dropout of peripheral retinal capillaries with resulting ischemia, which induces thinning of all retinal layers.[eyecaretrust.org.uk]
Lattice Degeneration Etiology Lattice degeneration is a common clinical entity which has many morphologies.[eyewiki.aao.org]
Epidemiology Frequency United States Lattice degeneration affects approximately 10% of the population and is bilateral in 30-50% of patients who are affected.[emedicine.medscape.com]
February 13, 2017 By Dr Chang Epidemiology Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the number 1 cause of blindness in the Western world. It affects 8 million Americans , including more than 30% of American older than 75 years of age.[mersi.com]
