This comprehensive atlas provides an in-depth overview of various inherited retinal dystrophies, emphasizing phenotype characteristics and their correlation with the most commonly encountered genes. Tailored for both clinicians and students, especially PhD students, this atlas is a vital resource for those studying the phenotypes of genes they work on and research.
In the face of rising genetic-testing costs, this atlas serves as an indispensable tool for geneticists, helping them to become familiar with the candidate gene approach. This knowledge empowers more cost-efficient and targeted testing of patients’ genomes.
Organized into eight intuitive sections, the atlas begins with an introduction to essential retinal imaging knowledge. Subsequent sections categorize diseases by inheritance patterns and group disorders with extraocular manifestations by defining features. This organization is designed to be intuitive for anyone studying inherited retinal disorders.
This thoroughly updated new edition features new images and the latest research developments, including new chapters on the history-taking of IRD suspect patients and updated chapters on mimics of IRD diseases. A novel section on currently available treatments further enriches this edition.
Whether you’re a student, clinician, or geneticist, this invaluable atlas is a must-have for anyone delving into the world of inherited retinal dystrophies. Equip yourself with the knowledge to navigate the complexities of these disorders with this expertly curated resource.
