Autosomal recessive familial exudative vitreoretinopathy: evidence for genetic heterogeneity

Abstract excerpt

Two unrelated families with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) show apparent autosomal recessive inheritance rather than the previously reported autosomal dominant or X-linked recessive mode of inheritance. Compared with the other modes of inheritance, the inherited clinical features here include earlier onset (at birth) and a more severe progressive course.
