Sorsby's fundus dystrophy (SFD) is a very rare genetic disorder characterized by the loss of central vision.[1][2][3] It was first described by Sorsby and Mason in 1949.[4]

| Sorsby's fundus dystrophy is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. | |
Signs and symptoms
editPatients typically become symptomatic in their 40s due to loss of central vision.[1] However, tests of rod photoreceptor function (i.e., night vision tests) show dysfunction at an earlier age. One of the most sensitive visual function parameters for early SFD is a prolongation of rod-mediated dark adaptation.[5][6] High-resolution structural imaging of the Bruch's membrane and of the underlying choriocapillaris – the capillary plexus nourishing the outer retina – also shows early alterations.[7]
Genetics
editThe inheritance pattern is autosomal dominant. It is related to a mutation in the TIMP3 gene.[1][8]
