Rare diseases covered by SENSGENE

 

Rare diseases covered by SENSGENE are rare sensory diseases (eye and ear).


15,000 patients with rare diseases of the eye or ear are supported by the network.

 


Les maladies rares de l'oeil comprennent les atteintes du segment antérieur, de la rétine et du nerf optique


Large families of pathologies:

  • RETINAL DISEASES (Retinopathies pigmentosa)

La rétine, dans sa totalité, est un disque d'environ 42 mm de diamètre. La rétine centrale occupe un champ circulaire d'environ 6 mm autour de la fovea, au-delà, la rétine est dite périphérique.

  • OPTICAL NERVE DISEASES (Optic neuropathies)

Le nerf optique est un nerf sensitif permettant l'assimilation et l'intégration de la perception visuelle.

  • MALFORMATIONS (Microphthalmia, anterior segment ...)

 

Almost all visual impairment, whether isolated or associated with another pathology, is of genetic origin.

 

HEARING DAMAGE

 

 

Deafness is the most common sensory deficit. It affects 1 child in 1000 at birth, one in 700 children before adulthood and a large percentage of the adult population. Deafness is not uncommon, but includes a large group of rare diseases of genetic origin.
