PURPOSE: To report a case of Pigmented Paravenous Chorioretinal Atrophy (PPCRA) associated with a novel RPGRIP1 dominant variant.
METHODS: Case report. The patient underwent multimodal retinal imaging, including spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT Angiography (OCTA), blue-light autofluorescence (BAF), and ultra-widefield pseudocolor retinography and autofluorescence. Genetic testing was performed using next-generation sequencing.
RESULTS: A 67-year-old male presented with a clinical suspicion of retinitis pigmentosa. His best-corrected visual acuity was 20/32 in the right eye and 20/200 in the left eye. On fundus examination, paravenous pigment clumping and chorioretinal atrophy were seen bilaterally, matching confluent hypoautofluorescent areas departing from the optic disc. This clinical presentation suggested a case of PPCRA. Genetic testing found a heterozygous deletion of nucleotide 631 (c.631del) in the RPGRIP1 gene, a frameshift variant that generates a premature stop codon (p.Ser211Valfs*64) and therefore results in a truncated or absent protein product. The variant was regarded as likely pathogenic (class IV).
CONCLUSION: In this report, we describe a case of PPCRA in association with a novel, likely pathogenic c.631del, p.Ser211Valfs*64 variant in RPGRIP1, a gene that has been associated with Leber congenital amaurosis and cone-rod dystrophy. Our case expands the spectrum of genes associated with PPCRA and prompts further studies to ascertain the molecular etiopathogenesis of this disease.
