Multimodal Study of PRPH2 Gene-Related Retinal Phenotypes.

ABSTRACT: PRPH2 gene mutations are frequently found in inherited retinal dystrophies (IRD) and are associated with a wide spectrum of clinical phenotypes. We studied 28 subjects affected by IRD carrying pathogenic PRPH2 mutations, belonging to 11 unrelated families. Functional tests (best-corrected visual acuity measurement, chromatic test, visual field, full-field, 30 Hz flicker, and multifocal electroretinogram), morphological retino-choroidal imaging (optical coherence tomography, optical coherence tomography angiography, and fundus autofluorescence), and clinical data were collected and analyzed. Common primary complaints, with onset in their 40s, were visual acuity reduction and abnormal dark adaptation. Visual acuity ranged from light perception to 20/20 Snellen. Visual field per
