PY - 1993 DA - 1993// TI - Retinoid Reaction Products in Age Related Retinal Degeneration BT - Retinal Degeneration: Clinical and Laboratory Applications SP - 15 EP - 24 PB - Springer US CY - Boston, MA AB - Great strides are being made toward defining the gene defects in retinitis pigmen-tosa1–3, Best’s vitelliform dystrophy4, and animal models of retinal degeneration5–7. Yet, little progress has been made in identifying the biochemical bases of the leading cause of blindness in the elderly: age related macular degeneration (AMD)8. Truly age-related retinal pathologies may well be due to causes other than identifiable point mutations in well defined genes and/or gene products.
