Doyne Honeycomb Retinal Dystrophy, also known as Malattia Leventinese or Familial Dominant Drusen, all refer to the same genetic inherited retinal dystrophy characterized by an autosomal dominant mutation in the EFEMP1 gene in which patients develop early onset macular and peripapillary drusen that are often oriented radially. CNVM can form, with subsequent scarring, and in advanced stages geographic atrophy can occur in the areas of confluent drusen.
