X-Linked Retinoschisis

X-Linked Retinoschisis

X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) is a rare inherited retinal disorder affecting males, caused by mutations in the RS1 gene. It leads to splitting of the retinal layers, resulting in impaired central vision, reduced visual acuity, and in some cases, retinal detachment. Symptoms typically present in childhood or early adolescence, often affecting school performance and quality of life.
