Alternative titles and symbols : Retinal cone dystrophy;
Included titles and symbols : Cone-rod dystrophy 14; CORD14;
Description : Progressive cone dystrophy usually presents in childhood or early adult life, with
many patients developing rod photoreceptor involvement in later life, thereby leading
to considerable overlap between progressive cone dystrophy and cone-rod dystrophy.
Both progressive cone dystrophy and cone-rod dystrophy have been associated with mutation
in the GUCA1A gene (Michaelides et al., 2006).;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the guanylate cyclase activator 1A gene (GUCA1A, 600364.0001);
