Cone-Rod Dystrophy (CRD) is an inherited liberal disease that causes worsening of the cone and pole photoreceptor cells and frequently results in blindness.

Cone-rod dystrophy is too accompanied by amelogenesis imperfecta, an irregularity affecting the teeth. Cone-rod dystrophy can be inherited as either an autosomal predominant or autosomal recessive trait. In its almost popular kind, however, it is normally inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, which means that both parents have one transcript of the cone-rod dystrophy gene but do not get the disease. Autosomal recessive cone-rod dystrophy is a genetically heterogeneous disease.
