kaugbosnägevus
Kaugbosnägevus refers to a rare genetic disorder characterized by a progressive deterioration of the optic nerve, leading to vision loss. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning an individual must inherit two copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent, to develop the condition. The gene responsible for kaugbosnägevus is located on chromosome 15.
The hallmark symptom is a gradual loss of peripheral vision, which can eventually lead to tunnel vision
Diagnosis is usually made through a combination of ophthalmological examinations, including visual field testing, optical coherence
