      gnomAD: The NM_000329.3(RPE65):c.1430A>G (p.Asp477Gly) variant was not found in gnomAD.

      VariantEvidence: Exogenous expression of the variant reveals protein expression levels, cellular localization and retinoid isomerase activity comparable to the wild-type (PMID: 29659842). However, knock-in mouse models exhibit retinyl ester accumulation (PMID: 29659842), abnormally slow regeneration of 11-cis-retinal after light exposure, and ERG results indicative of delayed dark adaptation (PMID: 28041994). Mice with CRISPR-mediated knock-in of the variant also exhibit a splicing defect in RPE65 due to the introduction of a cryptic splice site, which likely triggers a frameshift, exclusion of exons 13 and 14 from the transcript, and premature truncation of the protein product (PMID: 30628748).

    1. Ten of our patients with CSNB2 showed no mutation in CACNA1F. To identify the disease-causing mutations, we used a candidate-gene approach. CABP4, a member of the calcium-binding protein (CABP) family, is located in photoreceptor synaptic terminals and is directly associated with the C-terminal domain of the Cav1.4 alpha . Mice lacking either Cabp4 or Cav1.4 alpha display a CSNB2-like phenotype. Here, we report for the first time that mutations in CABP4 lead to autosomal recessive CSNB. Our studies revealed homozygous and compound heterozygous mutations in two families

      CasePreviousTesting: Previous genotyping was limited to Sanger sequencing of PCR products from the CACNA1F gene. The authors also implied that similarly screening was performed all other known genes associated CSNB, which at the time included RHO, GNAT1, PDE6B, GRK1, SAG, NYX, and GRM6.

      CaseMethod1: Sanger sequencing of CABP4

      CaseMethod2: N/A

      CaseGenotypingMethod: Genotyping was limited to Sanger sequencing of PCR products from the CACNA1F and CABP4 genes, with possible sequencing of other known CSNB-associated genes RHO, GNAT1, PDE6B, GRK1, SAG, NYX, and GRM6.

      Variant: The individual harbors the NM_145200.3(CABP4):c.800_801delAG variant in the homozygous state.

      ClinVar ID: 1952

      gnomAD: The variant is found in gnomAD version 4.1.1 at a frequency of 0.00007043 in the European (non-Finnish) population, with 0 homozygotes https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/11-67226099-CAG-C?dataset=gnomad_r2_1

      VariantEvidence: NM_145200.3(CABP4):c.800_801delAG is a frameshift variant within exon 6 of 6 that is predicted not to trigger nonsense-mediated decay but rather to disrupt the C-terminal 9 amino acids (3%) of the protein product and to extend the remaining protein by 91 additional amino acids. Analysis of patient mRNA indicates that splicing occurs normally but that expression at the mRNA level is decreased by more than 50% relative to the unaffected family member control.

      CaseAddInfo: The proband's family is reportedly non-consanguineous, and includes a similarly affected brother who is also homozygous for the variant, as well as unaffected parents and 4 unaffected siblings who are heterozygous or lacking the variant (Figure 2A). Family history was negative for CSNB.

    1. In the consanguineous Italian family NA1863, we found that the affected brother II:1 and the affected sister II:2 were homozygous for the splice-site mutation c.807+1G>T in intron 7, which was absent from the human SNP databases, whereas the asymptomatic parents were each heterozygous for the mutation (Figure 4A). In affected individuals of families NAL69 and NA1863, the EOG Arden ratio was moderately decreased (Table 1). During fundus examination, some asymptomatic heterozygous carriers were found to have minor changes. In family NAL69, although the daughter, III:2, was normal, the son, III:1, showed a slight defect in the line between the inner and outer segments in the nasal parafovea of the left eye. In family NA1863, fundus examination showed that the parents had tiny extramacular deposits (Figure 2). This suggests that the c.461T>C and c.807+1G>T changes could be sufficient to cause subclinical retinal abnormalities and exert a mild pathogenic effect at the heterozygous state. Yet, because the macular vitelliform disc with decreased visual acuity (Table 1) was present only in the individuals who were either compound heterozygous (family NAL69) or homozygous (family NA1863), it is likely that the disease in these two families segregated as an autosomal-recessive trait.

    2. Members of a large French family (MTP327) were identified as having autosomal-dominant VMD. The disease was assessed with visual-acuity testing, funduscopy, and autofluorescence imaging. A full-fields electroretinogram (ERG) was recorded with a ganzfeld apparatus (Metrovision, Pérenchies, France) with a bipolar contact lens electrode on maximally dilated pupils according to the international ISCEV protocol. Dim blue stimulation after 20 min of dark adaptation was used for eliciting rod responses, and 30 Hz flicker stimulation after 10 min of light adaptation was used for eliciting cone responses. Electrooculography (EOG) was also performed, and the Arden ratio, defined as the ratio of the amplitude of the light peak over that of the dark trough, was calculated (normal value ≥ 1.80). There were eight affected individuals in six generations examined (Figure 1A). The age of onset ranged from 20 to 45 years, and the mean visual acuity was 20/30 (Table 1). Six of eight individuals had a single subfoveal vitelliform lesion, and two individuals, V:2 and V:5, had several small vitelliform deposits in both eyes (Figure 2). In most individuals, the ERG rod responses were above the lower limit (except IV:4, who had moderately decreased responses), and the cone responses were either normal or moderately decreased. All individuals except IV:6 had a normal or a slightly decreased (V:5) EOG Arden ratio (Table 1).

      gnomAD: Variant is absent from gnomAD.

      VariantEvidence: Variant adds a Cys residue to TIMP3 and is predicted to disrupt tertiary structure. Patient fibroblasts reveal no change in expression of the variant at the mRNA level, no dimerization of the variant under non-reducing conditions, and no defect in its localization to the ECM. Variant showed a minor increase in glycosylation. An in vitro transcription and translation study found that the variant forms an aberrant intramolecular disulfide bond between the introduced Ser38Cys residue and Cys36 of TIMP3 (Figure 7). Aberrant intramolecular disulfide bonding caused by this variant would be consistent gain-of-function and an autosomal dominant mechanism of inheritance.

    1. A 16-year-old girl presented with symptoms at the age of 10 years; these included photophobia, photosensitivity, photopsia, and nyctalopia. Examination revealed visual acuities of 6/4 OD and 6/5 OS with refraction of +0.75/−0.75 × 30 OD and L +1.00/−1.00 × 140 OS. Fundoscopy revealed an atrophic concentric band with white punctate dots and minimal pigment extending from the vascular arcades to the mid-peripheral retina circumferential to the macula. Visual fields showed decreased sensitivity from 10 degrees to 40 degrees on Goldmann visual field testing. Colour vision testing with colour contrast sensitivity showed reduced protan thresholds and normal tritan responses. An increased (AF) signal was seen at the macula and extending to the nasal area. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed loss of the EZ in the area of the band, with preservation of the central retina (Figure 2C). The ERG results demonstrated extinguished rod-specific dim flash responses and reduced and delayed responses to standard flash under both photopic and scotopic conditions. Response to the 30 Hz flicker stimulus was abnormal but the PERG was relatively well preserved. Isolated S-cone responses were not measured. The marked reduction to rod stimuli and 30 Hz flicker with reduced responses to standard flash is consistent with an ESCS phenotype (Figure 3). Genetic molecular analysis showed compound heterozygosity for NR2E3 c.119−2A > C [1] (see Supplementary Table S1 for other references) and a novel mutation c.639_640insT, p.(P214SfsX39). Segregation analysis in her parents identified the NR2E3 variant c.639_640insT, p.(P214SfsX39) in her father, and the c.119-2A > C variant in her mother.

    1. Affected members of this family had childhood-onset visual acuity impairment. The disease progressed over decades to major loss of central and then peripheral visual function. At late stages of disease, patients retained only islands of vision in the midperiphery. Funduscopic appearance (Fig. 2) and visual function test results (Fig. 3) in two affected family members in the fifth decade of life are shown. Visual acuities in both patients were 20/200 or worse, and the refractive error was modest myopia with astigmatism. There were small posterior subcapsular cataracts.  In the central retina of the right eye of patient A (Fig. 2A) , there was a large area of discoloration, suggesting retinal pigmented epithelial disturbances. Patient B showed a macular coloboma-like lesion with a central atrophic scar surrounded by a ring of pigmentary change (Fig. 2B) . The central retinal area was discolored as in patient A; there were, in addition, small, discrete, white-yellow patches. In both patients, the fundus temporal to the macula was less pathologic appearing (Figs. 2C 2D) . Both patients had attenuated retinal vessels. Patient B showed temporal pallor of the optic nerve head, whereas this was not as evident in patient A.  Visual function test results are shown in Figure 3 . Compared with ERGs of a representative normal subject, all waveforms of the two patients were severely abnormal (Fig. 3A) . Patient A showed reduced amplitudes but normal timing of both rod and cone ERGs. Patient B had greater reductions in amplitude. Figure 3B shows kinetic perimetry (top panels) and static threshold perimetry in the dark-adapted (middle panels) and light-adapted (bottom panels) states. Sensitivity losses for rods (500-nm stimulus, dark-adapted) and long- (L) and middle (M)-wavelength cones (600-nm stimulus, light-adapted) were calculated from locus-specific normal values and are shown as gray-scale maps (0–3 log units). The psychophysical tests were conducted to position the anatomic fovea at the central fixation target (central scotoma thus truly “central”). Patients otherwise used eccentric fixation loci of approximately 20° from the fovea. By kinetic perimetry, both patients retained midperipheral islands of vision and could see both a large bright target (V-4e) and a smaller bright target (I-4e). Static perimetry also indicated detectable rod and cone sensitivity mainly in the nasal midperiphery. Some loci had no loss of rod or cone sensitivity, whereas other loci showed losses of 1 to 3 log units.

    1. Here, we identified two heterozygous variants in PRPF4, including c.-114_-97del in a simplex RP patient and c.C944T (p.Pro315Leu), which co-segregates with disease phenotype in a family with adRP. Both variants were absent in 400 unrelated controls. The c.-114_-97del, predicted to affect two transcription factor binding sites, was shown to down-regulate the promoter activity of PRPF4 by a luciferase assay, and was associated with a significant reduction of PRPF4 expression in the blood cells of the patient. In fibroblasts from an affected individual with the p.Pro315Leu variant, the expression levels of several tri-snRNP components, including PRPF4 itself, were up-regulated, with altered expression pattern of SC35, a spliceosome marker. The same alterations were also observed in cells over expressing hPrp4(Pro315Leu), suggesting that they arose as a compensatory response to a compromised splicing mechanism caused by hPrp4 dysfunction.

    1. To identify the genetic mutations responsible for MSS, we subjected the genomic DNA of an affected individual born to unrelated parents (FI1; Figure 1 and Table S1) to ciliome resequencing, using a 5.3 Mb customized Agilent SureSelect Target Enrichment library to capture 32,146 exons of 1,666 genes. We first focused our analysis on consensus splice-site changes, nonsynonymous variants, and insertion and/or deletion in coding regions. Considering that MSS-causing mutations are rare, we assumed that the affected individual was likely compound heterozygous for variants absent in the dbSNP132, 1000Genome, and in-house databases. This pointed to one candidate gene only, IFT140 (intraflagellar transport protein 140 homolog (chalydomonas)

      CasePreviousTesting: Genome-wide methods were not initially used, as clinical phenotypes were consistent with diagnosis of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL). Enzymatic tests ruled out defects in the CLN1, CLN2, and CLN10 loci, while CLN3, CLN6, and CLN8 defects were ruled out by Sanger sequencing of the coding regions. SNP array-based homozygosity mapping was performed, revealing 7 homozygous candidate regions in the affected members from the (consanguineous) family. These regions were analyzed for candidate NCL genes, finding CLN5 as the most likely locus to harbor the causative variant.

      CaseMethod1: SNP array-based homozygosity mapping was performed, revealing 7 homozygous candidate regions in the affected members from the (consanguineous) family. These regions were analyzed for candidate NCL genes, finding CLN5 as the most likely candidate for further genotyping.

      CaseHPOFreeText: Motor difficulty and visual loss were the phenotypes at presentation (age 5). Seizure and cognitive regression had onset at age 7.

      CaseNotHPOs: N/A

      CaseNotHPOFreeText: N/A

      CasePreviousTesting: Previous testing for mutations in the CLN1, CLN2, CLN3, CLN6, and CLN8 had already occurred, using PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing to exclude the possibility of variants in the exons and surrounding noncoding regions. Genome-wide analysis methods were not used, as NCL had already been diagnosed based on clinical phenotypes.

      CaseMethod1: PCR amplification of the coding and surrounding non-coding regions of each gene, followed by bidirectional Sanger sequencing

      CaseMethod2: as mentioned

      CaseGenotypingMethod: CLN5 genotyping was performed by PCR amplification of the four exons and surrounding non-coding regions was performed, followed by bi-directional Sanger sequencing. Synthetic multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) was then used to calculate average gene dosage ratio for each ratio, in order to detect large deletions.

      Variant: The patient harbors the NM_006493.4(CLN5):c.524G>A (p.Trp175Ter) and NM_006493.4(CLN5):c.956_959del (p.Lys319fs) variants.

      ClinVar: 56544 and 56529

      gnomAD: Maximum allele frequency for NM_006493.4(CLN5):c.524G>A (p.Trp175Ter) is 0.00003517 (in the European non-Finnish population, no homozygotes). https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/13-77570221-G-A Maximum allele frequency for NM_006493.4(CLN5):c.956_959del (p.Lys319fs) is 0.0001148 (in the African / African-American population, no homozygotes). https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/13-77574979-CACAA-C

      VariantEvidence: NM_006493.4(CLN5):c.524G>A (p.Trp175Ter) is a nonsense variant that results in truncation of approximately 51% of the protein product. The NM_006493.4(CLN5):c.956_959del (p.Lys319fs) variant triggers a frameshift that affects the final 40 amino acids (approximately 11%) of the protein product. While both variants occur in the final exon (exon 4) and neither is predicted to trigger NMD, the C-terminal region disrupted in both cases has been shown to be glycosylated and is important for proper localization of the protein (PMID:19309691).

      CaseAddInfo: Parents do not appear to have been genotyped, so it is not clear whether the two variants are confirmed to be in trans.

      FamilyHPOFreeText: Onset was at age 9 in all family members, with the first presenting phenotype being visual failure rather than mental retardation (as reported elsewhere). Electron microscopy of skin biopsies found inclusions consisting of fingerprint profiles, which were often condensed and sometimes associated with lipid droplets. Tremor was observed in lower limbs. Blindness and inability to walk developed at approximately age 10 (within a year of symptom onset). Behavioral changes, gradual loss of language, myoclonus, and seizures all occurred within months of onset. Seizures were poorly responsive to valproate or clonazepam. Generalized cortical and cerebellar atrophy without signal intensity changes were seen by NMR at CT scans at ages 10-12. EEG specifically showed a generalized pattern of high-voltage polyspike–slow waves.

      Ethnicity: Family is reported to have mixed Spanish, Native American, and African ancestry, but no documented northern European ancestry.

      Race: Admixture, combining Spanish, Native American, and African ancestry.

      Family#PreviousTesting: Previous testing relied on clinical testing to establish neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (CLN), then used 10 different microsatellite markers to evaluate the 6 loci known at the time to be associated with CLN. (Note: This list of CLN-associated loci has since expanded from 6 to 8-12 genes.) The pedigree indicates consistent segregation of the disease phenotype with biallelic inheritance of the three markers in the CLN5 locus. CLN genes were then PCR-amplified and subjected to Sanger sequencing, identifying a variant in CLN5. CLN5 PCR products were additionally subjected to PshAI endonuclease digestion, as the variant abolishes a restriction site. Genome-wide analysis methods were not used.

      Family#Method1: Linkage analysis with 10 microsatellite markers across 6 candidate loci known to be associated with CLN phenotypes.

      Family#Method2: CLN genes (specifically CLN3 and CLN5) were PCR-amplified and subjected to Sanger sequencing, identifying a variant in CLN5.

(A) Proband is a 17-year-old woman with a major complaint of progressive walking pain in bilateral hips which gradually disabled her from any motion of lower extremities since the clinical manifestation debuted at her age of 8. We discovered compound heterozygous variants at exon 11 (c.1156C>T; blue arrows) and exon 12 (c.1288C>G; red arrows) of the GALNS gene, respectively. The sequencing results indicate both parents are respective carriers and each donated a different heterozygous allele.

    1. In our study, a patient from arRP family 4263 was identified to carry a novel homozygous nonsense variant, 1786C>T:p.(R596*), in ADAM9 ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"NM_003816.2","term_id":"54292119","term_text":"NM_003816.2"}}NM_003816.2), which introduces a premature stop in exon16, resulting in a truncated protein or nonsense-mediated decay. A segregation test indicated that the nonsense variant cosegregated with the disease phenotype (Fig. 5C). To clarify the ambiguity between the molecular and clinical diagnosis, we reevaluated the clinical information for this patient. Patient 4263_1 was a 9-year-old boy from a consanguineous family. Initially, he experienced severe night blindness but no significant loss in daylight vision. His vision acuity was 0.3/0.3 (decimal Snellen) at first clinical visit and decreased rapidly to 0.08/0.1 (decimal Snellen). Full-field ERG showed both rod and cone functions were impaired. However, the amplitude of b-wave in dark-adapted rod response was more severely decreased compared with cone responses. Fundus image and OCT are shown in Supplementary Figure S3. Based on these clinical phenotypes and the ADAM9 mutation identified in the family, the patients were rediagnosed to have CRD with early-onset retinal dystrophy.

      CasePreviousTesting: Linkage analysis previously mapped the disease-causing variant to chr17p13 (PMID: 9733038, PMID: 8733141).

      CaseMethod1: Custom sequence capture array (next-generation) focusing on the linkage region on chromosome 17p13 (146 genes), using DNA from the proband and pooled affected and control samples.

      CaseMethod2: Confirmation by Sanger sequencing of exon 15.

      CaseGenotypingMethod: The proband and family members were genotyped by a combination of linkage analysis within the large pedigree, custom sequence capture array focusing on 146 genes within the linkage region on chromosome 17p13, and Sanger-based confirmation within exon 15.

      Variant: The proband harbors the NM_000180.4(GUCY2D):c.2798T>C (p.Val933Ala) variant in the heterozygous state.

      ClinVar: 617917

      gnomAD: The variant was not found in gnomAD.

      VariantEvidence: NM_000180.4(GUCY2D):c.2798T>C (p.Val933Ala) is a missense variant located in exon 15, which is part of the catalytic domain rather than the coiled-coil domain that mediates dimerization. Other variants for this disease entity are located within the coiled-coil domain instead. Phenotypic differences between this case and those may reflect genotype-phenotype correlation or differences in mechanism.

      CaseAddInfo: The proband is a member of a large family (from the second generation) with other affected genotype-positive members.

    1. Within the PRPF4 sequence, we identified two annotated variants, p.His78Arg and p.Pro187Ala (Table 2). The first one corresponded to dbSNP entry rs1138958 and was present in 60 European heterozygotes from the Exome Variant Server database; therefore, we considered the variant to be non-pathogenic. The second variant, found in a single individual (ID: 001–417), involved nucleotide c.559C (NM_004697.3, exon 5), which was flagged in dbSNP as entry rs187531407 and referred to a CCC>TCC (p.Pro187Ser) change, found only in two non-validated 1000 Genomes reports. We ascertained that one of these reports (a low-coverage genome in an African sample) was a false positive, following validation with direct Sanger sequencing on the original DNA sample (ID: NA18933, Coriell DNA repository). Moreover, although the nucleotide is the same, the base change in the patient in our cohort was different compared to rs187531407. More specifically, we identified a CCC>GCC change, which resulted in p.Pro187Ala. Proline 187 is not fully conserved across different species and, according to predictions with different tools, the likelihood of pathogenicity of p.Pro187Ala is uncertain (Table 3). We followed up this change by analyzing controls and available relatives. Public databases, as well as sequencing of in-house controls, did not reveal the presence of this change. We then screened an additional 202 patients with adRP from the same cohorts for this specific variant, but this change was not found in any additional individuals. The affected sibling (ID: 226–1953) of the index patient also carried the same change, but other family members were not available for further segregation analysis. Since the base change is located within exon 5, at a 5-bp distance from the donor splice site, we also checked if splicing of this exon was affected. Bioinformatic prediction was negative, and reverse-transcription (RT)–PCR of patient’s cDNA did not reveal missplicing events. In the absence of additional elements, we could neither exclude nor validate this change as a potential mutation.

      ControlDemographics: Control individuals are stated to be ethnically matched to the cases, but details are not provided.

      CaseMethod: Previous testing for cases appears to have been limited to diagnosis of Leber's congenital amaurosis by a retina expert. Genotyping method was Sanger sequencing of PCR products from all 14 exons of RPE65. Targeted exome sequencing (194-gene panel) appears to have been performed for a subset of affected cases harboring RPE65 variants.

      ControlMethod: Previous testing was not described. Genotyping method was Sanger sequencing of PCR products from all 14 exons of RPE65.

      CasePower: 187 cases were genotyped, and 14 were found to harbor RPE65 variants (12 biallelic and 2 apparently monoallelic), with 11 cases predicted to harbor biallelic pathogenic RPE65 variants.

      ControlPower: The number of control individuals who harbored a variant in RPE65 is not mentioned.

      CaseAddInfo: Cases may have overlapped with other studies of Leber congenital amaurosis in Chinese cohorts (PMID: 29133760, PMID: 25356976, PMID: 26047050, PMID: 23661369, PMID: 22509104, PMID: 25383945, PMID: 21602930, PMID: 23661368, PMID: 28393863). The possibility of overlap is not addressed in the text.

      ControlAddInfo: Overlap of the control cohort with other PMIDs is not reported.

      CaseControlEvaluation: The study type is Aggregate analysis. The study used Sanger sequencing of the 14 exons of the RPE65 gene as the detection method. Cases counted were those found to harbor biallelic RPE65 variants that were predicted to be pathogenic at the protein level or demonstrated to have transcript-level impact through a minigene in vitro splicing assay.

      CaseControlStats: Test statistic value, p-value, and confidence interval are not included in the report.

      CaseControlBias: Matching was performed on the basis of ethnicity. While it is possible that age, gender, and other demographics were not as well-matched between cases and controls, the early onset of the disease makes these unlikely sources of bias. Because the process of matching is not described in detail, it is difficult to evaluate other sources of potential bias such as differences in local origin between cases and controls that might lead to false assumptions that certain individuals are unrelated.

    1. arCRD was diagnosed in the mother and two of her children. Bilateral anterior polar and posterior subcapsular cataract was observed in the mother and bilateral dot cataract was diagnosed in three of the four children not affected with arCRD, one of whom also had glaucoma. The characteristics of the arCRD were childhood-onset visual impairment, reorganisation of the retinal pigment epithelium with mid-periphery greyish-white discolouration, attenuated retinal vasculatur and optic disc pallor. A coloboma-like macular lesion was observed in one of the arCRD-affected children. IROme analysis identified a c.1396-2A>G homozygous mutation in the splice acceptor site of intron 13 of ADAM9. This mutation was homozygous in the two children affected by arCRD and in their affected mother. This mutation was heterozygous in the unaffected father and the four unaffected children.

    1. SRF1186 is a 25-year-old male RP patient aware of recent vision loss. His fundus images featured RPE atrophy, gray pigments in the mid-peripheral retina and retinal fluorescent changes (Figure S2). WES data revealed he has two IFT140 variants (c.C212T, p.P71L and c.650_651delTG, p.V217Gfs*2). Sanger validation confirmed their segregation from both parents (Fig. 2). The P71L variant is found only once in over 60,000 controls in the ExAC database and the frameshift variant is absent (Table 1). The P71L variant affects a conserved residue in WD2 domain and is considered damaging by all algorithms (Fig. 3; Table S2). Both patients were revisited and no skeletal or renal disorders have been observed (Table 1, Table S3). The identification of these two cases further supports our argument that IFT140 mutations can cause non-syndromic RP.

    1. A 26-yr-old Korean male (proband) was the second son of non-consanguineous Korean parents. He was blind, mentally retarded, and truncally obese. Past history showed that he had undergone an operation for an atrial septal defect at the age of four. A chest X-ray revealed cardiomegaly and pulmonary edema. Renal sonogram revealed bilateral small-sized kidneys, increased renal parenchymal echogenicity, and poor corticomedullary differentiation, together with laboratory findings, were indicative of an end-stage renal disease. Fundus examination revealed pigmentary changes as typically observed in retinitis pigmentosa with optic disc atrophy (Fig. 1). The proband was treated with maintenance hemodialysis and antihypertensive medications.

    1. A 12-year-old Saudi Arabian girl with nystagmus since birth was referred because of recent decreased vision. Parents were first cousins and a younger sister had been diagnosed with retinal dystrophy. Examination revealed total white cataract in the right eye. In the left eye, there were posterior cortical lenticular opacities and an unusual retina fundus dystrophic appearance notable for fibrosis over the optic disc and clumped pigmentation. After right eye cataract surgery, the posterior pole of the left eye was seen as similar to that of the right eye and electroretinography revealed severe cone-rod dysfunction, with only subnormal scotopic tracings recordable in both eyes. Next-generation sequencing of retinal dystrophy genes revealed homozygosity for a novel missense mutation in KCNJ13 (c.359T > C; p.Ile120Thr [NM_002242.4]), which co-segregated with the disease.

      FamilyHPOFreeText: Disease onset was between the fifth and seventh decades of life. Mild nyctalopia preceded choroidal neovascularization by one or more decades in most individuals. Drusen, RPE atrophy, thickening of Bruch's membrane, and blockage of normal central choroidal fluorescence were also early stage disease phenotypes that preceded choroidal neovascularization. Choroidal neovascularization was bilateral in 4 out of 7 affected family members.

    1. A G-->T nucleotide change at position 238 in exon 3 of the RPGR gene resulting in a putative substitute of Gly-->Val at codon 60 was shown to segregate with RP in affected males and the carrier state in female heterozygotes in these two families. The ophthalmologic findings in hemizygotes as well as the carriers in this family were within the spectrum of findings characteristically noted in XLRP families. A tapetal-like reflex was not observed in any of the five female carriers. Psychophysical and electrophysiologic testing on the carriers indicated that cone and rod functions were impaired equivalently. When present in the carriers, visual field restriction was most apparent in, or limited to, the superotemporal quadrant, which corresponded to the retinal pigmentary changes that tended to occur in the inferonasal retina. Conclusions: A mutation in exon 3 of the RPGR gene, which would result in a putative glycine to valine substitution at codon 60, is associated with a severe clinical phenotype in male patients and a patchy retinopathy without a tapetal-like reflex in carrier females.

      CaseGenotypingMethod: The proband and his family members were subjected to Sanger sequencing of the PCR-amplified exons from the RPGR locus.

      Variant: The proband harbors the NM_001034853.2(RPGR):c.179G>T (p.Gly60Val) variant in the hemizygous state.

      ClinVar: 9902

      gnomAD: The variant was not found in gnomAD v.2.1.1.

      VariantEvidence: NM_001034853.2(RPGR):c.179G>T (p.Gly60Val) is a missense variant in exon 3 that has not been functionally characterized to confirm an impact on the gene product. It has been observed in multiple apparently unrelated families in this study (PMID: 9855162) and in one other study by the same group (PMID: 9399904). It may be a founder variant present within the population of the U.K.

      CaseAddInfo: The proband is a member of Family 1, shown in Figure 1 from this study. Four other genotype-positive affected males are present in his extended family, as well as carrier females affected with patchy retinopathy (but no tapetal reflex).
