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