CRB1-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 کاملLebers Amaurosis in Three Siblings: A case report
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the generic name for a group of hereditary disorders characterized by progressive loss of photoreceptors and RPE function. The classical triad of retinitis pigmentosa is arteriolar attenuation, retinal bone spicule pigmentation and waxy disc pallor. Lebers congenital amaurosis (LCA) is the hereditary form of retinitis pigmentosa. It presents with blindness either at...
متن کاملLeber congenital amaurosis caused by mutations in RPGRIP1.
Recessive null mutations in retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator interacting protein 1 (RPGRIP1) gene are the cause of LCA6 and account for 5% to 6% of the total patient population. RPGRIP1 has an essential role in the photoreceptor connecting cilia, and photoreceptors lacking RPGRIP1 are unable to maintain the light sensing outer segments. As a result, patients lose retinal functions at an ea...

متن کاملthe spectrum of mitochondrial dna mutations in iranian lebers hereditary optic neuropathy patients
we studied 74 patients with lebers hereditary optic neuropathy (lhon) to investigate causative mtdna mutations (g3460a, g11778a, t14484c, g4459a) in iranian lhon patients. fifty two patients carried the mitochondrial dna (mtdna) g11778a mutation, while one had the t14484c mutation 4 patients had the g3460a mutation and one had the g14459a mutation. our results showed a similarity in the pattern...
