MeasureTime frame
Based on the retrospective analysis, this study aims to investigate the longitudinal disease course of autosomal dominant and recessive bestrophinopathies and to assess the extent to which the prognoses of the two subgroups differ. In addition, the available data will be used to analyze the current state of care for patients with BEST1-associated retinopathy, using the Bonn outpatient clinic as a case study.
