What Causes Juvenile Macular Degeneration?

JMD is primarily caused by genetic mutations that affect retinal cells. Different types of JMD are associated with mutations in different genes. For instance:
Stargardt disease is often linked to mutations in the ABCA4 gene
Best disease is associated with mutations in the BEST1 gene
X-linked retinoschisis is caused by mutations in the RS1 gene
These genetic mutations can be inherited in various patterns, including autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked inheritance.
