Prevalence and associated relating factors in patients with hereditary retinal dystrophy: a nationwide population-based study in Taiwan

Conclusions
74% of the diagnosed HRD are retinitis pigmentosa. Population-based data suggested an increased incidence of cataract in younger patients, whereas older HRD patients are more susceptible to develop CME. Further work is needed to elucidate the mechanism between these ophthalmological disorders and HRD.
