BACKGROUND

Mutations in the human peripherin/retinal degeneration slow (rds) gene have been found in patients with macular dystrophies as well as in those with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa. The authors studied the clinical features in members of two families with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa and a previously unreported mutation in the peripherin/rds gene.

METHODS

Affected family members underwent a clinical ophthalmic examination and electrophysiologic and psychophysical testing. Available family members were evaluated for a mutation in the peripherin/rds gene.

RESULTS

A mutation in codon 216 of the peripherin/rds gene, resulting in a substitution of the amino acid serine for proline, was found to segregate with retinitis pigmentosa in these two families. Ocular features of this mutation include a later onset of more notable ophthalmoscopic, electrophysiologic, and psychophysical abnormalities of the retina, an atrophic-appearing foveal lesion, and extrafoveal atrophic and hyperpigmented degenerative retinal changes, which were found more posteriorly than usually seen in patients with retinitis pigmentosa. Visual field testing showed a partial ring scotoma or pear-shaped configuration of the remaining portions of the peripheral fields.

CONCLUSIONS

A previously undescribed mutation in the peripherin/rds gene is responsible for an autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa phenotype. This phenotype tends to be associated with the development of an atrophic-appearing foveal lesion, more posterior distribution of pigmentary changes involving the vascular arcades, the presence of a partial ring scotoma or a pear-shaped configuration of the peripheral visual field, and a later onset of more extensive retinal structural and functional impairment.
