Natural history of progressive vision loss in Bietti crystalline dystrophy: a model-based meta-analysis by Wenbin Wei, Qingshan Zheng, Ning Guan, Haihan Zhang, Shiyi Yin, Jinyuan Wang, Qingqing Cheng, Lingxiao Zhang, Hua Lv

“…Purpose Bietti crystalline corneoretinal dystrophy (BCD) is an autosomal recessive progressive retinal degenerative disease due to mutations in the CYP4V2 gene. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) is a common primary endpoint in clinical trials for retinal diseases, but the natural history of BCVA loss remains unclear because of the heterogeneity of manifestations in BCD patients.Methods Based on the individual data of untreated BCD patients, a disease progression model was established using the change in BCVA from baseline as an index, and covariates including age of onset, age, duration of disease, baseline BCVA, gender, race (East Asian/non-East Asian), genotype, and family history. …”
