Figure 1. Clinical and molecular data for
patient ILCA-65–1 and family. The proband first presented for
ophthalmic examination at 3 years of age. A: There were no
recordable responses to light in the electroretinogram. Examples shown
are from the left eye for a dark-adapted combined response and a
light-adapted photopic response. Arrowhead points to the timing of the
10-ms bright light pulse. B: The family tree shows the proband
(filled circle with arrow) and a sibling as clinically affected and
both parents as unaffected. C: Bidirectional sequencing showed
that the RPE65 Tyr368His TAT>CAT mutation was homozygous in
the affected proband (S1) and affected sibling (S3), and was
heterozygous in the mother (M) and father (F). Reverse strand sequence
around RPE65 Tyr368 (caNatct) is shown against an ethnic
unrelated and unaffected control normal (NL).
