Novel compound heterozygous NMNAT1 variants associated with Leber congenital amaurosis
PURPOSE The gene encoding nicotinamide nucleotide adenylyltransferase 1 (NMNAT1) was recently found to be mutated in a subset of patients with Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) with macular atrophy. The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence and frequency of NMNAT1 mutations and associated phenotypes in different types of inherited retinal dystrophies. METHODS DNA samples of 161 pat...
متن کاملCRB1-Related Leber Congenital Amaurosis: Reporting Novel Pathogenic Variants and a Brief Review on Mutations Spectrum
Background: Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is a rare inherited retinal disease causing severe visual impairment in infancy. It has been reported that 9-15% of LCA cases have mutations in CRB1 gene. The complex of CRB1 protein with other associated proteins affects the determination of cell polarity, orientation, and morphogenesis of photoreceptors. Here, we report three novel pathogenic varia...

متن کاملDisc oedema in congenital amaurosis of Leber.
Since it was first described by Theodor Leber as 'pigmentary retinitis with congenital amaurosis' (Leber, I867), the entity which bears his name has been the subject of sporadic reports defining its clinical and pathological characteristics. It accounted for about io per cent of the blindness in Sweden (Alstrom and Olsen, 1957) and i8 per cent among children in a series in Holland (SchappertKim...
متن کاملIdentification of a novel splice-site mutation in the Lebercilin (LCA5) gene causing Leber congenital amaurosis
PURPOSE Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is one of the most common causes of hereditary blindness in infants. To date, mutations in 13 known genes and at two other loci have been implicated in LCA causation. An examination of the known genes highlights several processes which, when defective, cause LCA, including photoreceptor development and maintenance, phototransduction, vitamin A metabolism...
