The cause of acquired retinoschisis is not known. Although it often occurs in middle age or beyond, it may appear in individuals as young as 20. Juvenile retinoschisis is transmitted genetically as an X-linked recessive trait. The mutated gene responsible is located on the short arm of the X chromosome (Xp22.
