  1. The systematic approach to the literature review, outlining the different search categories, their focuses, and the specific keywords and topics used to gather relevant information on clinical interventions, genetic research, and early diagnosis of STGD. Keywords and topics within each category guided the retrieval of relevant articles from PubMed NCBI, with the number of citations reflecting the volume of research available for each search term. The number in parenthesis is the number of papers read
