Abstract. Background:Vitelliform macular dystrophy(Best disease)has been known to be associated with a variety of mutations in VMD2. Many are missense mutations. Purpose:To report a case of vitelliform macular dystrophy that showed a new mutation in VMD2. Case:A 50-year-old Japanese female presented with fatigue in both eyes of 6 years' duration. Her mother and two brothers had been diagnosed with macular degeneration. Her daughter had reportedly macular disorder. Findings:Her corrected visual acuity was 1.2 right and 0.8 left. Both eyes showed findings compatible with vitelliform macular dystrophy. Her right macula simulated hypopyon. Her left macula was atrophic. DNA was extracted from circulating leukocyte. Molecular analysis showed heterozygous mutation c.886A>G(Asn296Asp)in exon 8 of VMD2 gene. Conclusion:Mutation c.886A>(G(Asn296Asp)in exon 8 of VMD2 gene was identified as a new finding in a case suggestive of vitelliform macular dystrophy.
