    1. family 10, JU1426

      Case#: JU1426 (Family 10, II:3), Japanese male, 59 years (report)

      CaseHPOsFreeText: Best-corrected visual acuity of zero in both eyes; fundus exam - inconspicuous, partial white dots at peripheral retina, and macular degeneration in both eyes; reduced fundus autofluorescence, and irregular autofluorescence around fovea in both eyes; Optical coherence tomography - diffuse disruption of ellipsoid zone and interdigitation zone with foveal sparing in both eyes; 30 min dark adapted ERG showed extinguished b-waves, and with dark adaptation of 2-3 hours there was partial recovery of b-waves.

      CaseGenotypingMethod: WES

      Variant: NM_002905.4:c.259C>T (p.Gln87Ter) homozygous

      ClinVar: N/A

      CAID: CA385200238

      gnomAD: Not in gnomAD

      CaseAddInfo: Estimated age (based on years of follow up)

      Score: 2 points. This individual, with a diagnosis of fundus albipunctatus is homozygous for a nonsense variant in RDH5. This variant is absent in gnomAD.

    1. family 1002, direct genomic sequencing was performed on the amplified exon 4 fragment from the proband

      Case#: Family 1002, Greek, 26 years, now living in USA.

      CaseHPOs:

      CaseHPOsFreeText: Difficulty adapting to the dark from early childhood. Fundus exam (see Fig 2A) at age 26 years showed yellow-white dots, sharply demarcated, sparing the macula and radiating from the perimacular region; well-defined foveal reflex, absent pigmentary changes, normal vascular caliber.

      CaseNotHPOsFreeText: No other associated ocular or systemic disorders.

      CasePreviousTesting: RBP3 excluded by heteroduplex analysis and sequencing (this study). Affected siblings had non-concordant pattern for an intragenic RFLP analyzed by Southern blot.

      CaseMethod1: SSCP

      CaseMethod2: Sanger sequencing

      Variant: c.712G>T (p.Gly238Trp) (homozygous)

      ClinVar: 8003

      CAID: CA119196

      gnomAD: The highest population MAF in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.0004532 (Latino/Admixed American); no homozygotes in any population.

      CaseAddInfo: Parents are seventh cousins

      Not scoring because another patients with this genotype has already been included.
