Abstract:Purpose
Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is a hereditary blinding vitreoretinopathy characterized by anomalous retinal vascularization. In the early stages, patients are mostly asymptomatic and prone to missed diagnosis because the lesion is located in the peripheral part of the retina. Early-onset high myopia and severe anisometropia are often the earliest reasons for ophthalmologic consultation in FEVR patients. However, there are few studies on the genetic variants and clinical phenotypes associ… Show more
