Abstract
Five families are described which show the inheritance, as a simple autosomal dominant, of a fundus dystrophy which begins at about the age of 40 yrs. with edema and a hemorrhagic exudative reaction in the central area of the fundus, and progresses to central atrophy, it is often associated with choroidal sclerosis and heavy pigmentation and ultimate generalized fundus atrophy.Keywords
