Overview
Hereditary disorders affecting the nervous system encompass a broad range of conditions, including retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and Stargardt disease, characterized by progressive vision loss due to retinal degeneration. These conditions often have genetic origins and can manifest with varying degrees of severity.Diagnosis
