<a href="/books/n/gene/lca-ov/?report=reader"><b>LEBER CONGENITAL AMAUROSIS / EARLY-ONSET SEVERE RETINAL DYSTROPHY OVERVIEW</b></a><b>.</b></p><div><h4 class="inline">Clinical characteristics.</h4><p>Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA), a severe dystrophy of the retina, typically becomes evident in the first year of life. Visual function is usually poor and often accompanied by nystagmus, sluggish or near-absent pupillary responses, photophobia, high hyperopia, and keratoconus. Visual acuity is rarely better than 20/400. A characteristic finding is Franceschetti's oculo-digital sign, comprising eye poking, pressing, and rubbing. The appearance of the fundus is extremely variable. While the retina may initially appear normal, a pigmentary retinopathy reminiscent of retinitis pigmentosa is frequently observed later in childhood. The electroretinogram (ERG) is characteristically "nondetectable" or severely subnormal.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Diagnosis/testing.</h4><p>The diagnosis of LCA is established by clinical findings. Pathogenic variants in 17 genes are known to cause LCA: <i>GUCY2D</i> (locus name: LCA1), <i>RPE65</i> (LCA2), <i>SPATA7</i> (LCA3), <i>AIPL1</i> (LCA4), <i>LCA5</i> (LCA5), <i>RPGRIP1</i> (LCA6), <i>CRX</i> (LCA7), <i>CRB1</i> (LCA8), <i>NMNAT1</i> (LCA9), <i>CEP290</i> (LCA10), <i>IMPDH1</i> (LCA11), <i>RD3</i> (LCA12), <i>RDH12</i> (LCA13), <i>LRAT</i> (LCA14)<i>, TULP1</i> (LCA15)<i>,</i>
<i>KCNJ13</i> (LCA16), and <i>IQCB1</i>. Together, pathogenic variants in these genes are estimated to account for more than half of all LCA diagnoses. At least one other disease locus for LCA has been reported, but the gene is not known.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Management.</h4><p><i>Treatment of manifestations:</i> Treatment is supportive. Children and their parents should be referred to programs for the visually impaired child within their state or locality. Affected individuals benefit from correction of refractive error, use of low-vision aids when possible, and optimal access to educational and work-related opportunities.</p><p><i>Prevention of secondary complications:</i> When possible children should be discouraged from repeatedly poking and pressing on their eyes.</p><p><i>Surveillance:</i> Periodic ophthalmic evaluation for assessment of vision, trials of correction for refractive error, and, in those with residual vision, assessment of the presence of amblyopia, glaucoma, or cataract.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Genetic counseling.</h4><p>Most often LCA is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. At conception, each sib of an individual with recessively inherited LCA has a 25% chance of being affected, a 50% chance of being an asymptomatic carrier, and a 25% chance of being unaffected and not a carrier. Carrier testing for at-risk family members is possible if the pathogenic variants in the family are known. Prenatal testing for pregnancies at increased risk is possible through laboratories offering either testing for the gene of interest or custom testing. Rarely, LCA is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner as a result of a pathogenic variant in <i>CRX</i>; the possibility of autosomal dominant inheritance resulting from a <i>de novo</i>
<i>CRX</i> pathogenic variant should be considered in individuals with LCA and no family history of the disease.</p></div></div><div id="lca.Diagnosis"><h2 id="_lca_Diagnosis_">Diagnosis</h2><div id="lca.Clinical_Diagnosis"><h3>Clinical Diagnosis</h3><p>The form of congenital or early-infantile blindness known as Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) was first defined by Theodor Leber in 1869 and 1871 on the basis of clinical findings [<a class="bibr" href="#lca.REF.leber.1869.1" rid="lca.REF.leber.1869.1">Leber 1869</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#lca.REF.leber.1871.249" rid="lca.REF.leber.1871.249">Leber 1871</a>].

Although fundus abnormalities are frequently present later in life, infants with LCA typically show either a normal fundus appearance or only subtle retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) granularity, retinal vessel attenuation and, uncommonly, various stages of macular atrophy.</p><p>Of note, three more specific retinal phenotypes can be observed:</p><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Preserved para-arteriolar retinal pigment epithelium (PPRPE) in individuals with <i>CRB1</i> pathogenic variants</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>"Translucent RPE," white dots, and a peculiar star-shaped maculopathy in individuals with <i>RPE65</i> pathogenic variants</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>A progressive macular atrophic lesion presenting in infancy or later in some individuals.

It is not known why this behavior occurs. The major sequelum is enophthalmos, a physical defect in which the eye recedes into the orbit, presumably from atrophy of orbital fat. Keratoconus has been said to result from the repetitive trauma to the cornea, but others have suggested that this may be a feature of LCA itself.</p><p><b>Intellectual disability.</b> Rarely, LCA is seen in association with neurodevelopmental delay, intellectual disability, and oculomotor apraxia-type behavior. However, many if not most of the historical reports date to earlier studies in which systemic phenocopies of LCA (see <a href="#lca.Differential_Diagnosis">Differential Diagnosis</a>) were not considered or ruled out. Still, some studies suggest that as many as 20% of children with LCA without associated anomalies develop intellectual disability [<a class="bibr" href="#lca.REF.schuil.1998.294" rid="lca.REF.schuil.1998.294">Schuil et al 1998</a>]. Whether these individuals represent undiagnosed systemic disorders or a genetic subtype of LCA is unknown.</p><p>Prior to the identification of <i>CEP290</i>, none of the molecularly defined types of LCA was shown to be associated with intellectual disability or neurodevelopmental degeneration. <a class="bibr" href="#lca.REF.perrault.2007.416" rid="lca.REF.perrault.2007.416">Perrault et al [2007]</a> reported a subset of individuals (15%) with <i>CEP290</i>-related LCA who have intellectual disability or autistic features, but no other extraretinal manifestations. Two of the six individuals in the study with intellectual disability or autism were later reclassified as having <a href="/books/n/gene/joubert/?report=reader">Joubert syndrome</a> based on the presence of the &#x0201c;molar tooth&#x0201d; sign on MRI. In others, the MRI was apparently normal.</p><p><b>Visual impairment.</b> Profound visual impairment is usually present from birth. One third of individuals with LCA have no perception of light. The visual impairment is generally stable or very slowly progressive. Occasionally in the early stages, a mild degree of visual improvement is observed. This improvement has been attributed to development of the central visual pathways rather than retinal maturation.

In mouse and rat, lebercelin is localized to the ciliary axoneme in ciliated lines; in mouse and rat retina, it is located between outer and inner segments of the photoreceptor layer. In human kidney cells, lebercilin was found to interact with 24 ciliary body proteins, including cytoplasmic dynein, nucleophosmin, nucleolin, 14-3-3-epsilon, and HSP70. Thus, lebercilin appears to play a role in ciliary function.</p><p><b>Abnormal gene product.</b> The precise nature of the effect of mutation on gene function is unknown.</p><p>
