NDP (gene)
Norrie disease (pseudoglioma), also known as NDP, is a human gene[1]
associated with the Norrie disease.
NDP is the genetic locus identified as harboring mutations that result in Norrie disease. Norrie disease is a rare genetic disorder characterized by bilateral congenital blindness that is caused by a vascularized mass behind each lens due to a maldeveloped retina (pseudoglioma).[1]
