The genes causing some forms of macular degeneration
have now been identified including Sorsby dystrophy, Best's macular
Dystrophy and Stargardt's disease.
Once a gene is located, a blood test may be able to determine
potential risk in family members and the population.
In addition, genetic therapies may be able to bypass or compensate
for the abnormal gene. |
