Doyne honeycomb retinal dystrophy (DHRD)
ï”°It is a condition that affects the eyes and causes vision loss.
ï”°It is characterized by small, round, white spots known as "drusen" that accumulate beneath the retinal pigment epithelium (the pigmented layer of the retina).
ï”°Over time, drusen may grow and come together, creating a "honeycomb pattern"
ï”° DHRD is usually caused by mutations in the "EFEMP1 gene" and is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.
