Risk Factors
No particular risk factors have been conclusively identified; however, there have been a few reports that demonstrate an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance in some families. Therefore, a family history of optic disc pits may be a possible risk factor.

Famous quotes containing the words risk and/or factors:
“We saw the risk we took in doing good,
But dared not spare to do the best we could
Though harm should come of it”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Language makes it possible for a child to incorporate his parents’ verbal prohibitions, to make them part of himself....We don’t speak of a conscience yet in the child who is just acquiring language, but we can see very clearly how language plays an indispensable role in the formation of conscience. In fact, the moral achievement of man, the whole complex of factors that go into the organization of conscience is very largely based upon language.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
