Novel heterozygous PRPH2 variant identified in a patient with spinocerebellar ataxia type 14 and macular dystrophy.
Purpose: To report on a patient with spinocerebellar ataxia type 14 (SCA14) and macular dystrophy with identification of a novel PRPH2 variant.
Methods: Case report.
Results: A 63-year-old female with molecularly confirmed SCA14 presented with symmetric pigmentary disturbances in a perifoveal distribution resembling a pattern macular dystrophy. She had no history of using medications with recognized toxic macular effects. Subsequent genetic testing confirmed a novel heterozygous missense variant of unknown significance in PRPH2 (PRPH2: c.694 G>A, p.(Ala232Thr)).
Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first case of macular dystrophy identified in a patient with SCA14. While it is possible that the macular dystrophy observed in this patient might be an under-reported phenotype associated with SCA14, the pattern of macular changes is consistent with PRPH2-related disorders. The identified missense variant is predicted to be damaging by most in silico models, and the residue is highly conserved, adding support to a dual genetic diagnosis in this case.
