| description | Choroideremia is an X-linked recessive inherited, bilateral progressive chorioretinal dystrophy/degeneration leading to blindness by late adulthood. However, it can be confused occasionally with other conditions, especially retinitis pigmentosa due to their shared clinical manifestations.

This article is trying to make a differential diagnosis between choroideremia and other conditions based on the current knowledge of these disorders. |
