Blue cone monochromacy: Causative mutations and associated phenotypes

PURPOSE To perform a phenotypic assessment of members of three British families with blue cone monochromatism (BCM), and to determine the underlying molecular genetic basis of disease. METHODS Affected members of three British families with BCM were examined clinically and underwent detailed electrophysiological and psychophysical testing. Blood samples were taken for DNA extraction. Molecula...

Rabson Mendenhall Syndrome caused by a novel missense mutation

BACKGROUND Rabson Mendenhall syndrome is a rare endocrine condition characterized by severe insulin resistance and hyperglycemia. It occurs due to mutations in the insulin receptor gene. Few mutations which are associated with Rabson Mendenhall syndrome have been identified and reported in the past. The management of this condition is extremely challenging and will need multi-disciplinary appro...

Visual Function and Cortical Organization in Carriers of Blue Cone Monochromacy

Carriers of blue cone monochromacy have fewer cone photoreceptors than normal. Here we examine how this disruption at the level of the retina affects visual function and cortical organization in these individuals. Visual resolution and contrast sensitivity was measured at the preferred retinal locus of fixation and visual resolution was tested at two eccentric locations (2.5° and 8°) with spect...

Blue Cone Monochromacy Causes Deterioration in Visual Acuity and Color Vision in a Boy

Purpose: To present the genetic cause of progressive deterioration in visual acuity and color vision in a child with high myopia and strabismus. Here we describe a novel x-linked mutation in the opsin 1 medium-wave-sensitive (OPN1MW) gene in a child, leading to cone rod dystrophy. Setting/Venue: Trio whole-exome sequencing (WES). Methods: We reviewed the clinical data and eye exams including fa...

Blue Cone Monochromacy: Visual Function and Efficacy Outcome Measures for Clinical Trials

BACKGROUND Blue Cone Monochromacy (BCM) is an X-linked retinopathy caused by mutations in the OPN1LW / OPN1MW gene cluster, encoding long (L)- and middle (M)-wavelength sensitive cone opsins. Recent evidence shows sufficient structural integrity of cone photoreceptors in BCM to warrant consideration of a gene therapy approach to the disease. In the present study, the vision in BCM is examined, ...
