Ophthalmic Genetics focuses on the genetic basis of eye diseases. The journal publishes research on inherited retinal dystrophies, including conditions like Stickler syndrome, Gillespie syndrome, Gyrate Atrophy, achromatopsia, and rod-cone dystrophy. It also covers genetic disorders affecting other parts of the eye, such as hereditary cataracts, iris hypoplasia, glaucoma, and corneal abnormalities. The scope includes the identification of novel gene variants and their correlation with clinical phenotypes, as well as the investigation of genetic risk factors for conditions like Graves' ophthalmopathy.
