Cone-Rod Dystrophy – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Cone-rod dystrophy encompasses a cluster of eye conditions characterized by progressive vision loss that exacerbates over time. These ailments primarily affect the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the eye's rear. In individuals with cone-rod dystrophy, the gradual deterioration of the retinal light-sensing cells precipitates vision impairment. The cone cells are initially affected, manifesting symptoms such as compromised vision clarity, color vision issues, and heightened light sensitivity. Subsequently, there's a progressive decline in rod cells, resulting in night blindness and peripheral vision loss. The onset of cone-rod dystrophy typically occurs during childhood, with early indications including diminished visual acuity and heightened light sensitivity. The most prevalent cause of autosomal recessive cone-rod dystrophy is mutations in the ABCA4 gene, which account for 30 to 60 percent of cases. Meanwhile, at least 10 genes are linked to the autosomal dominant inheri...
