degenerating mature
retina.
The genetic disorder, prcd - PRA, causes
cells in the
retina at the back of the eye to
degenerate and die, even though the
cells seem to develop normally early
in life.
This genetic disorder causes rod and cone
cells in the
retina at the back of the eye to
degenerate and die, even though the
cells seem to develop normally early
in life.
Rod and cone refer to the shapes of
cells in the
retina that respond to light, but are progressively
degenerating when affected with this disease.
