FIGURE 1.

Disease subgroups and inheritance patterns of genetically solved and unsolved families. (a) Seventy‐four families from the UAE were grouped as follows: 27 rod‐cone dystrophies (RCD), 16 cone‐rod dystrophies (CRD), 10 syndromic retinal dystrophies (syndromic IRD), 3 achromatopsia, 2 retinoschisis, 2 albinism and 2 “others” (which include an aniridia and pathological myopia family). (b) Distribution of mode of inheritance amongst the 74 families. Three families remained “unconfirmed” with variants of unknown pathogenic significance or multiple mutations leading to uncertainty of the clinical diagnosis. NPF, no primary findings. (c) Number of families solved or with no primary finding (NPF) in each group
