PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the genotypic and phenotypic characteristics of CRB1-associated early onset retinal dystrophy (CRB1-eoRD) and retinal architecture by swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).
METHODS: Eleven probands with CRB1-eoRD were recruited. Clinical information, genetic analysis, and comprehensive ophthalmic examinations including SS-OCT and SS-OCT angiography (SS-OCTA) were conducted.
RESULTS: A total of 81.8% (9/11) of CRB1-eoRD presented as Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA). Common clinical manifestations included coin-like yellow-white retinal spots (20/22, 90.9%) and para-arteriolar retinal pigment epithelial retention (12/22, 54.5%). Nineteen different CRB1 variants were detected in our case series, including 12 missense, 3 frameshifts, 3 nonsense, and 1 splicing. Of them, 12 variants had been reported, and 7 were novel. SS-OCT showed thinner central macula (the LCA group, P < 0.0001), thicker total retina (P < 0.0001), thinner outer retina (P < 0.05), and thicker inner retina (P < 0.0001) compared with the healthy control. The inner/outer (I/O) retina thickness ratio of CRB1-eoRD was 3.0, higher than the healthy control of 1.2 and other inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) of 2.2 (P < 0.0001 and P = 0.0027, respectively). SS-OCTA revealed an increased vascular density and perfusion area of the superficial vascular complex and deep vascular complex in CRB1-eoRD.
CONCLUSIONS: LCA emerges as a frequently occurring phenotype in CRB1-eoRD. The unique features of SS-OCT and SS-OCTA are illustrated, and the novel biomarker, I/O ratio, may facilitate early diagnosis. The insights gained from this study hold significant value in determining the treatment window for potential forthcoming CRB1 gene therapy.
