Popis: To describe the clinical and genetic characteristics (novel mutation inThe detailed ophthalmological examination included best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), color and autofluorescence photography, fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography, and electrophysiology tests. A next-generation sequencing (NGS) strategy was applied to the index patient, and then sequenced in an Illumina NextSeq500 system.A 55-year-old male presented with a BCVA of 20/25 in the right eye and 20/20 in the left eye. Fundoscopy revealed perifoveal yellow flecked-like lesions. Fluorescein angiography and fundus autofluorescence results were consistent with pattern dystrophy. A homozygous frameshift mutation inARB is a genetic disease that leads to irreversible visual loss. In this report we found a novel mutation responsible for this disease.
