Abstract
Introduction: Nephronophthisis 12 is a rare condition and only two cases have been reported to associate with retinopathy. Herein we present the third case in scientific literature, and the first with vision-quality exams.
Clinical case: The case was a 28-year-old male with the mutations c.626C > T (p.Pro209Leu) and c.1317T > G (p.Tyr439*). Bilateral atrophy of outer retinal layers and retinal pigmented epithelium were observed, resembling a bull's eye maculopathy. Visual acuity, as well as contrast sensitivity dropped with mesopic conditions. He presented more difficulties in differentiating colors within blue-yellow range, and some degree of halos were detected. Multifocal electroretinogram detected little retinal function, and visual field detected a full scotoma. He referred poorer quality of life due to emotional wellbeing, more than to difficulties in reading or accessing information.
Conclusion: Although rare, nephronophthisis 12 may be caused by genetic mutations that associate severe retinopathy.
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).
