Written and reviewed by Dr Ibrahim Imam, Consultant Neurologist. Last reviewed .

Norrie disease. This is mainly caused by NDP gene mutations on chromosome X. Fully referenced neurology checklist.

Genetics

  • This is mainly caused by NDP gene mutations on chromosome X
  • The gen encodes norrin: this regulates retinal angiogenesis
  • The transmission is X-linked recessive
  • Females are usually asymptomatic carriers
  • It may also be caused by KIF11 and CTNNB1 gene mutations
