Abstract
Reticular pseudodrusen (RPD) are subretinal deposits and when observed with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) form a distinct phenotype, often associated with late-stage disease. To date, RPD genetic risk-associations overlap six well-established AMD-risk regions. Determining RPD-specific underlying genetic causes by utilising adequate imaging methods should improve our understanding of the pathophysiology of RPD.
