Clinical Characteristics of Leber Congenital Amaurosis&#x000a0;/ Early-Onset Severe Retinal Dystrophy</h2><p>Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA)&#x000a0;/ early-onset severe retinal dystrophy (EOSRD) comprises a spectrum of inherited retinal disorders that ranges from LCA at the severe end to EOSRD at the milder end.</p><p><b>LCA</b> is characterized by severe visual impairment from birth or the first few months of life, roving eye movements or nystagmus, poor pupillary light responses, oculodigital sign (poking, rubbing, and/or pressing of the eyes), and undetectable or severely abnormal full-field electroretinogram (ERG).</p><p><b>EOSRD</b> is characterized by the onset of visual impairment typically after infancy but before age five years, with variably preserved visual acuity and minimally preserved full-field ERG [<a class="bk_pop" href="#lca-ov.REF.kumaran.2017.1147">Kumaran et al 2017</a>].</p><p>The fundus in LCA/EOSRD can appear normal at presentation or show a variety of retinal abnormalities including pigmentary retinopathy, white deposits at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium, vascular attenuation, or pseudopapilledema and macular atrophy. Those with a normal fundus appearance at birth usually develop pigmentary retinopathy, optic disc pallor, and vascular attenuation with time. Other late changes include optic disc drusen, keratoconus, and lens opacities. Some genetic subtypes have a characteristic retinal phenotype.</p><p>The rate of visual loss varies, and some genes have been associated with faster progression (see <a href="/books/NBK531510/table/lca-ov.T.leber_congenital_amaurosis_lca/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figoblcaovTlebercongenitalamaurosislca">Table 2</a>). Infants with severe visual impairment may also have delays or difficulties with speech, social skills, and behavior, highlighting the importance of early involvement by a developmental pediatric specialist.</p><p>Persons with LCA/EOSRD usually present with isolated ocular signs and symptoms and have manifestations that remain confined to the eye. Some infants who present with visual impairment may later develop other systemic issues, particularly kidney disease. Nephronophthisis with subsequent end-stage kidney disease can be seen with certain genetic subtypes of LCA/EOSRD (e.g., <i>IQCB1-</i>, <i>IFT140-</i>, and <i>CEP290-</i>associated LCA) as part of syndromes including Senior-Loken syndrome and Joubert syndrome (see <a href="/books/NBK531510/table/lca-ov.T.leber_congenital_amaurosis_lca/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figoblcaovTlebercongenitalamaurosislca">Table 2</a>).
