AIMS: To describe two phenotypic variations of autosomal recessive retinal dystrophy occurring in a consanguineous family in a pseudodominant pattern, resulting from mutations in the ATP binding cassette transporter (ABCR) gene.
METHODS: Patients of this family underwent an extensive ophthalmic evaluation, including fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, and electroretinography (ERG). Genetic analysis comprised sequence analysis of the retina specific ABCR gene.
RESULTS: Five patients presented with decreased visual acuity in the second decade, central chorioretinal atrophy associated with a central scotoma, and severely decreased photopic and scotopic ERG responses. This clinical picture, which in our opinion resembles a cone-rod dystrophy (CRD), was associated with compound heterozygosity for IVS30+ 1g -->t and IVS40+5g-->a mutations in the ABCR gene. The four remaining patients presented with night blindness in the first decade because of a retinitis pigmentosa-like (RP-like) dystrophy. In addition to a pale "waxy" optic disc, attenuated retinal vessels and bone spicule deposits, a widespread chorioretinal atrophy was observed. The scotopic ERG was extinguished and the photopic ERG was severely diminished. Genetic analysis revealed a homozygous 5' splice mutation IVS30+1g -->t in the ABCR gene.
CONCLUSION: Mutations in the ABCR gene can cause clinical pictures resembling autosomal recessive RP and autosomal recessive CRD.
