Preferred Label : Birdshot chorioretinopathy;

CISMeF acronym : BSCR;

Description : Birdshot chorioretinopathy (BSCR) is characterized by multiple small, cream-colored lesions, symmetrically scattered mainly around the optic disc and radiating toward the equator. These depigmented spots, the most distinctive sign of the syndrome, appear at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium but, on occasion, suggest an even deeper infiltration. The retinal vasculopathy and inflammatory signs associated with the funduscopic findings lead regularly to visual loss. Szpak et al. (2001) noted that the human MHC class I specificity HLA-A29 (see 142800) had been observed in nearly all patients (95.8%) with BSCR compared with 7% in healthy controls.;

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
