The CHM Group is coordinated by William Tucker to function as a support and information forum for all who are affected by Choroideremia in any way. Bill can be contacted at: wtucker@hiwaay.net

This group was created to facilitate discussion and information discimination between people who have been diagnosed or are interested in information concerning the genetic degenerative eye disease Choroideremia. Choroideremia, or CHM, is also known by the name Tapetechoroidal Dystrophy, or TCD.

Choroideremia is a genetic eye disease caused by a genetic defect located at Xq21.2 and those afflicted with the eye disease will initially be night blind, and their retina will begin to deteriorate beginning in the periphera and tunnel to complete blindness. Choroideremia is commonly misdiagnosted as Retinitis Pigmentosa.
