Transition Zones between Healthy and Diseased Retina in Choroideremia (CHM) and Stargardt Disease (STGD) as Compared to Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP)

Abstract

On fdOCT scans, patients with RP, CHM, and STGD all have a TZ between relatively healthy and severely affected retina. The patterns of changes in the receptor layers are similar within a disease category, but different across categories. The findings suggest that the pattern of progression of each disease is distinct and may offer clues for strategies in the development of future therapies.
