Goldmann-Favre syndrome
Definition:
Goldmann-Favre syndrome (GFS) is an autosomal recessive progressive retinal degeneration that develops due to a mutation in the NR2E3 gene, which has a role in the regulation of cone cell differentiation. GFS and enhanced S-cone syndrome [DS:H02075] represent two distinct entities on a spectrum of retinal degenerative disease caused by mutations in the same gene.
