Hereditary retinal dystrophies can be subdivised into central (macular) and peripheral degenerations. Stargardt disease, Best disease, cone dystrophy and retinoschisis, affecting children or young adults, are the 4 commonest macular dystrophies. Retinitis pigmentosa, with primary affects photoreceptors, presents a wide clinical, genetic and molecular heterogeneity. It is certainly the most representative cause of peripheral degeneration. Recent advances in molecular biology allow a more complete clinical definition of these inheritable retinal diseases.
