Norrie Disease

Norrie disease is a rare inherited condition caused by changes in the NDP gene on the X chromosome, so it almost always affects boys. The retina fails to develop normally, causing blindness from birth or early infancy, and many people also develop progressive hearing loss and sometimes developmental or behavioural difficulties. Care focuses on early hearing monitoring and aids, vision and developmental support, and treatment of eye complications.
