Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To describe, in a multimodal way, a new RHO gene mutation with lysine-for-asparagine substitution in autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa.

METHODS: Case report. Retrospective data analysis.

RESULTS: The mutation is located within codon 15 of exon 1 of the RHO gene. A single base-pair transversion lead to a specific lysine-for-asparagine substitution (

CONCLUSION: We present a new mutation with a specific substitution that may cause eye disease and which has not been described previously. There is no description of this variant in the genetic databases.

Keywords: opsins; pigmentary retinopathy; retinal pigments; rod-cone dystrophy; tapetoretinal degeneration
