Informations about the disease

Clinical Comment

Choroideremia is characterized by progressive vision loss, mainly affecting males. The first symptom is usually night blindness, sometimes already in early childhood. This is followed by tunnel vision and a decrease in visual acuity. These problems are due to atrophy of the retinal cells and loss of the choroid. The visual impairment worsens over time, and the course varies inter-individually. Eventually, blindness occurs in all affected individuals, most commonly in late adulthood. Mutations in the CHM gene cause choroideremia, which is inherited in an X-linked pattern. Females with a single CHM mutation may have small areas of retinal cell loss that are detected during particularly thorough eye examinations. These changes can affect vision later in life. A very detailed differential diagnosis may include several dozen genes whose dysfunctions affect retinal integrity. Because the diagnostic yield using molecular genetics is not 100%, a negative DNA test result cannot safely rule out clinical suspicion.
