X-linked cone dystrophy. An overlooked diagnosis?

A Pinckers et al. Int Ophthalmol. 1987 Aug.

Abstract

The cone dystrophies can be subdivided into 3 functional stages: central cone disease, peripheral cone disease and diffuse cone disease, respectively. In the patient material of our clinic the sex distribution of patients presenting with te diffuse cone disease stage was abnormal: 22 males and 3 females. The authors suggest that the diagnosis X-linked cone dystrophy often is overlooked.
