Clinical Comment

Leber's congenital amaurosis (LCA) primarily affects the retina and causes severe visual impairment at birth or shortly thereafter, which may even worsen over time. In addition, photophobia, nystagmus and hyperopia are observed, and the pupils do not respond normally to light. Franceschetti's oculo-digital sign is characteristic: poking, pressing, rubbing the eyes with fingers or knuckles. In very rare cases, developmental delays and mental retardation also occur. There are more than two dozen types of LCA as distinguished by their genetic cause, patterns of vision loss and associated eye abnormalities. Variants in the CEP290, CRB1, GUCY2D, RDH12 and RPE65 genes represent the most common causes of LCA. It is usually inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, but it is autosomal dominant with variants in the CRX or IMPDH1 genes. Because the DNA diagnostic yield in suspected cases is barely >70%, a negative molecular genetic test result does not exclude the clinical diagnosis.
