Hidden gene clues: flat retina found in healthy eyes may reveal albinism carriers
NCT ID NCT04658381
First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study looked at 20 adults who have a flat fovea (fovea plana) in their retina but no vision issues or known albinism. Researchers used eye scans and genetic tests to see if these people carry gene changes linked to albinism. The goal was to understand why some people have this eye feature without symptoms and whether it points to hidden genetic factors.
