Pattern dystrophy of the retina

MedGen UID:
870319
Concept ID:
C4024762
Disease or Syndrome
HPO: HP:0007963

Definition

A spectrum of fundoscopic appearances characterized by the development of a variety of patterns of deposits predominantly in the macular area. The deposits are typically bilateral, relatively symmetrical, yellow/white and associated with changes at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium. With time, retinal atrophy may occur. A number of pattern dystrophy subtypes have been described including butterfly-shaped dystrophy, reticular dystrophy (net-like pattern) and fundus pulverulentus (granular, mottled pigmentation). [from HPO]

Conditions with this feature

Patterned macular dystrophy 2
MedGen UID:
332348
Concept ID:
C1837029
Disease or Syndrome
Butterfly-shaped pigmentary macular dystrophy is an autosomal dominant eye disease characterized by bilateral accumulation of pigment in the macular area that resembles the wings of a butterfly (summary by van Lith-Verhoeven et al., 2003). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of patterned macular dystrophy, see 169150.
Patterned macular dystrophy 1
MedGen UID:
1646806
Concept ID:
C4551999
Disease or Syndrome
Patterned dystrophies of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) refer to a heterogeneous group of macular disorders, characterized by an abnormal accumulation of lipofuscin in the RPE. The lipofuscin is most apparent in the macular area, and its distribution can show various sizes and shapes. High inter- and intrafamilial variability has been described, and retinitis pigmentosa (RP; see 268000)-like changes have sometimes been observed in association with patterned dystrophies (summary by Vaclavik et al., 2012). Three main varieties of patterned dystrophy of the RPE have been described: reticular ('fishnet-like') dystrophy (see 179840 and 267800), macroreticular ('spider-shaped') dystrophy, and butterfly-shaped pigment dystrophy of the fovea. Genetic Heterogeneity of Patterned Macular Dystrophy Also see MDPT2 (608970), caused by mutation in the CTNNA1 gene (116805) on chromosome 5q31; and MDPT3 (617111), caused by mutation in the MAPKAPK3 gene (602130) on chromosome 3p21.
