Hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease. [2] It is caused by a combination of mutations (compound heterozygosity) in the CDH3 gene, which codes for Cadherin-3 (also known as P-Cadherin), a calcium-binding protein that is responsible for cellular adhesion in various tissues.

Stargardt disease; Other names: Stargardt macular dystrophy & degeneration, juvenile macular degeneration, fundus flavimaculatus: Optical coherence tomography is used for diagnosis of Stargardt's disease.
The incidence of age-related macular degeneration and its associated features increases with age and is low in people <55 years of age. [101] Smoking is the strongest modifiable risk factor. [102] As of 2008, age-related macular degeneration accounts for more than 54% of all vision loss in the white population in the US. [103]

Mutations in ABCA4 gene are known to cause the autosomal-recessive disease Stargardt macular dystrophy (STGD), which is a hereditary juvenile macular degeneration disease causing progressive loss of photoreceptor cells.
Vitelliform macular dystrophy is an irregular autosomal dominant eye disorder which can cause progressive vision loss. [1] This disorder affects the retina , specifically cells in a small area near the center of the retina called the macula .
