Pattern ERG(pERG)... was designed to complement the full-field ERG [electroretinography] in differentiating between maculopathy and generalized retinopathy. pERG uses an alternating pattern-reversal stimuli(i. e., checkerboard pattern) to assess the central retina region. It has been used as a sensitive indicator of dysfunction to detect subtle optic neuropathies. 5, record 3, English, - pattern%20electroretinography

Full-field electroretinography(ERG) is a visual electrophysiology test that measures the pan-retinal response by capturing the sum of responses from the entire retina when exposed to flashes of light. This test is essential for diagnosing and monitoring various retinal dysfunctions, including retinopathies, vascular conditions, and unexplained vision loss. 5, record 4, English, - full%2Dfield%20electroretinography

Occult macular dystrophy(OMD), also known as Miyake's disease, is an aptly named inherited macular disorder characterized by poor central acuity despite a normal-appearing fundus, FA [fluorescein angiography], and full-field ERG [electroretinogram].... OMD typically exhibits an autosomal dominant form of inheritance due to mutations in the retinitis pigmentosa 1-like 1(RP1L1) gene located on the short arm of chromosome 8. 3, record 5, English, - occult%20macular%20dystrophy
