Tapetoretinal Degenerations in Spinocerebellar Degenerations (Heredoataxias)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2014
Abstract
The association of hereditary spino-ponto-cerebellar degenerations with tapetoretinal degenerations of varying types, and particularly with Stargardt's macular degeneration, is not rare, as at the present time more than 200 cases are known. Therefore the one-gene hypothesis seems to be the most plausible. The fact that there exist complex neuroophthalmological forms near purely neurological or purely retinal forms, is also in favour of one gene with polyphenic manifestation.
