A recent study conducted at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangdong, China, aimed to investigate the prevalence and clinical characteristics of choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) in patients with X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS). The study found that the prevalence of CNV in XLRS eyes was 8.1%, and all CNVs were classified as subretinal and active. CNV eyes exhibited poorer visual function and compromised retinal structures compared to non-CNV eyes. Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy was found to be effective in treating XLRS-CNVs. The study did not establish a significant genotype-phenotype correlation.
