Blue Cone Monochromacy Registry

About us


The BCM Registry is an online patient registry established and maintained by the BCM Families Foundation (BCMFF). The BCMFF is the only patient-led organization worldwide with a mission to eradicate BCM. Established in 2014 in the United States, the Foundation has gathered a community of above 300 people (130 families) from around the globe.

BCM affects 1 out 100.000 people – mainly males - who experience loss of visual acuity, photophobia, myopia, nystagmus, impaired color vision from birth and, therefore, a severely reduced quality of life. To help those lives, the foundation makes available provides research funds and infrastructures that are instrumental to discover new treatments and/or to improve current ones. Through the collection and analyses of as many patients’ personal and clinical data as possible, the BCM Registry is a milestone along the path that will lead to clinical trials of innovative therapies.

The BCM Registry is owned by the BCMFF and governed by a Steering Committee that involves renowned clinicians and researchers in the field as well as patient representatives.
