This condition is inherited via autosomal dominant manner

Macular hypoplasia, also known as foveal hypoplasia, is a rare medical condition involving the underdevelopment of the macula[1], a small area on the retina (the eye's internal surface) responsible for seeing in detail. Macular hypoplasia is often associated with albinism.
