Cone dystrophy

Cone Dystrophy, Peripheral
Rods and cones in the retina respond to light and send their responses to the brain which is a vital link in the mechanism of seeing.

Rod cone dystrophy
A number of retina diseases in which the rod photoreceptors first start to degenerate followed by the cone photoreceptors. Other parts of the retina and RPE are also adversely affected.

In Retinitis Pigmentosa, there is a gradual breakdown of the rods and cones. The rod cells usually degenerate first causing rod-cone dystrophy, which in turn causes night blindness.

Cone dystrophy genes have been mapped to chromosome regions 6p21.1, 6q25-q26, 17p12-13, and Xp21.1-p11.3. In region 6p21.

The most common form of cone-rod dystrophy is retinitis pigmentosa. There is no treatment or cure for this disease, which is also referred to as cone-rod degeneration, progressive cone-rod dystrophy, and retinal cone dystrophy.
