Abstract Aim:CRX mutations cause various retinal dystrophies, such as retinitis pigmentosa, cone-rod dystrophy, and Leber congenital amaurosis. Herein, we describe a case of CRX mutation-related macular dystrophy.

Case:The patient was a 27-year-old woman with obesity and mental retardation who had no relevant family history. She was aware of visual loss since early childhood. A few years ago, since the visual loss seemed to be progressing, she visited the town family doctor. She was referred to our hospital at the age of 25 for suspected retinal dystrophy. Her best-corrected visual acuity was 0.2 in the right eye and 1.2 in the left eye. Fundus examination revealed diffuse retinal degeneration, and atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium was observed from the macula toward the optic discs. Optical coherence tomography revealed thinning of the retina, particularly in the outer nuclear layer and retinal pigment epithelium. The ellipsoid zone was relatively preserved in the foveal region, but was disrupted between the optic pit and macula. These atrophic changes were more apparent in the right eye. Fundus autofluorescence showed central hypoautofluorescence and an external hyperautofluorescent ring reaching the optic disc. Full-field electroretinography was within the normal range under all standard stimulus and recording conditions. Genetic analysis revealed a heterozygous mutation R90W in CRX in the patient. Two years later, no disease progression has been observed.

Conclusion:A heterozygous mutation(R90W)in the CRX gene caused macular dystrophy in a patient with early onset macular dystrophy. Further follow-up and data accumulation are required for detailed clinical evaluation of the findings and prognosis.
