Monozygotic twin brothers with age-related macular degeneration.

A A Dosso1, J Bovet.   

Abstract

We report the simultaneous development of exudative macular degeneration in monozygotic twin brothers. This report supports the hypothesis that genetic factors may be implicated in the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration.
