Abstract

Purpose: To investigate genetic mutation(s) underlying retinal degeneration in a male patient. Methods: A seven-year-old male patient was referred to receive genetic counseling and molecular testing. Clinical examination was performed by slit-lamp examination and electroretinography (ERG). Molecular testing was undertaken through arrayed-primer extension (APEX) and Sanger sequencing. Results: Slit-lamp examination and flat ERG were in favor of Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) disease as well as fundus findings. The genetic screening revealed two novel homozygote deletion and duplication variants in intron 15 and exon 16 of the GUCY2D gene. Segregation analysis in the family supports the probable contribution of these two novel mutations in clinical representations of the patient. Conclusions: This report provides more information about LCA disease and its relevant mutations in Iran. Considering the overlapping phenotypes observed in retinal degenerative disorders, comprehensive molecular testing is needed for precise diagnosis. © 2019 Iranian Society of Ophthalmology
