In collaboration withDutch logo
Retinal atrophy, rod-cone dysplasia 3, is a progressive eye disease caused by a mutation of the PDE6A gene. It leads to the degeneration of the retina, beginning with the rods, which are responsible for night vision, and progressing to cones, which are responsible for day vision. Ultimately, the disease results in blindness.
