Clinical and Genetic Features of Familial Exudative Vitreoretinopathy With Only-Unilateral Abnormalities in a Chinese Cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) with only-unilateral abnormalities may masquerade as other vitreoretinal disorders. Clinicians should be vigilant of patients with unilateral FEVR, recognizing that the relatively normal vision of the fellow eye could compromise a patient's attention to the decreasing vision of the affected eye.

Objective

Design, setting, and participants

A medical records review included all patients (N = 621) with a diagnosis of FEVR between January 1, 2010, and October 31, 2017, from Xinhua Hospital in Shanghai, China. Patients were excluded if retinal abnormalities were noted in both eyes or if a diagnosis of FEVR co
