Background To describe different clinical presentations of a same NR2E3recessive mutation in two families and within one family.Design Interventional family study.Results Our first case was a one-year-old male child with high hyperopia and refractive accommodative esotropia. In retinal examination, peri-papillary sub-retinal fibrosis with a helicoid configuration was observed in both eyes. The parents and the only sibling had no pathologic findings in the eyes. The child showed to have severely reduced responses in both photopic and scotopic electroretinogram components. In the genetic investigation, a homozygous autosomal recessive mutation in the NR2E3gene (IVS1-2A > C) was discovered in the affected child, while the other family members were heterozygous for this mutation. We followed up with the patient for 3 years and no new lesion developed during this period. The second case was a 13-year-old male child referred to the retina clinic for decreased vision in the right eye. In retina examination, there were nummular pigmentary changes at the level of retinal pigment epithelium and along the vascular arcades with foveo-schitic changes in both eyes. A choroidal neovascularization (CNV) was noticed in the macula of his right eye. The genetic evaluation proved the same mutation in the NR2E3gene as in the first case. Family history was remarkable for an uncle, an aunt, and two cousins with night blindness.Conclusion Same NR2E3gene mutation can cause heterogeneous clinical manifestations such as slight retinal changes in the absence of any visual symptoms to high hyperopia associated with helicoid peri-papillary sub-retinal fibrosis. |
