Phenotype
|
Physical symptoms of a retinal degenerative disease that can be clinically defined. Each phenotype is normally associated with a particular genotype (see Genetic Testing). A phenotype consists of the observable characteristics or clinical symptoms present in an individual with a particular retinal degenerative disease. Scientists are attempting to correlate the phenotype with the genotype for every retinal degenerative disease. |
