Mondo Description Pigmented paravenous retinochoroidal atrophy (PPRCA) is a rare, commonly bilateral and symmetric retinal disease characterized by non-progressive or slowly progressive chorioretinal atrophy, peripapillary pigmentary changes and accumulation of ''bone-corpuscle'' pigmentation along the retinal veins and which is usually asymptomatic or can present with mild blurred vision.
Uniprot Description Unusual retinal degeneration characterized by accumulation of pigmentation along retinal veins. PPCRA is dominantly inherited, but exhibited variable expressivity. Males are more likely to exhibit a severe phenotype, whereas females may remain virtually asymptomatic even in later years. The PPCRA phenotype is associated with a mutation in CRB1 gene which is likely to affect the structure of the CRB1 protein.
