Cone dystrophy associated with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1.

ABSTRACT: To report the association of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1 (APS1) with cone dystrophy in a large Saudi family. This is a Retrospective chart review and prospective genetic testing and ophthalmic examination of a large multiplex consanguineous family. Genetic testing was performed on 14 family members, seven of whom had detailed ophthalmic examinations. Medical history, ocular history and evaluation, visual field testing, full-field electroretinogram (ERG), and Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) results were analyzed. Three family members were homozygous for c.205_208dupCAGG;p.(Asp70Alafs*148) in AIRE and homozygous for c.481-1G>A in PDE6C. One additional family member was homozygous for only the AIRE variant and another additional family member was homozygous for only the PDE6C varian
