Abstract
Purpose: To present a series of patients with RPE65-related retinal dystrophy showing a partial rescue of the full-field electroretinogram (ERG) following gene replacement therapy with voretigene neparovec-rzyl (Luxturna®).
Methods: This retrospective chart review examined 17 patients treated with voretigene neparovec-rzyl (VN) at the Casey Eye Institute (2018-2022). The last pre-operative ERG and all available post-operative ERGs were analyzed to identify subjects with functional rescue. Measurements of amplitudes and implicit times were compared to data from age-matched controls and the attenuation relative to the lower limit of normal (LLN) was calculated. For comparison with other functional exams, the last pre-operative and all post-treatment best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) data, visual field (VF) tests and full-field threshold stimulus tests (FST) were also described.
Results: Of patients who underwent ERGs, most had unrecordable ERGs that did not change after treatment. However, we identified three patients, treated bilaterally, who demonstrated partial rescue of the full-field ERG in both eyes which was sustained during the course of the study.
Conclusions: This is the largest series of patients treated with VN showing a partial rescue of the ERG. This is also the first report of bilateral ERG rescue, as well as the first description of ERG recovery occurring in non-pediatric subjects. Full-field ERG could be used in combination with other psychophysical tests and imaging modalities to detect and deepen our understanding of the response to this gene therapy approach.
期刊介绍：
Documenta Ophthalmologica is an official publication of the International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision. The purpose of the journal is to promote the understanding and application of clinical electrophysiology of vision. Documenta Ophthalmologica will publish reviews, research articles, technical notes, brief reports and case studies which inform the readers about basic and clinical sciences related to visual electrodiagnosis and means to improve diagnosis and clinical management of patients using visual electrophysiology. Studies may involve animals or humans. In either case appropriate care must be taken to follow the Declaration of Helsinki for human subject or appropriate humane standards of animal care (e.g., the ARVO standards on Animal Care and Use).
