- Familial Dominant Drusen is a genetically inherited retinal dystrophy and thought to represent an early-onset variant of age related macular degeneration. The gene responsible is EFEMP1 and inherited in autosomal dominant manner with variable expressivity. It is represented with multiple radially elongated small drusen in early stages and in later stages they become larger and more confluent. Geographic atrophy occurs in advanced stages.
