MeSH Heading: Leber Congenital Amaurosis
Tree Number(s): C11.270.516; C11.768.364
Unique ID: D057130
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D057130
Scope Note: A rare degenerative inherited eye disease that appears at birth or in the first few months of life that results in a loss of vision. Not to be confused with LEBER HEREDITARY OPTIC NEUROPATHY, the disease is thought to be caused by abnormal development of PHOTORECEPTOR CELLS in the RETINA, or by the extremely premature degeneration of retinal cells.
