Retinitis pigmentosa 49(RP49)

MedGen UID:
462409
Concept ID:
C3151059
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: RP49
 
Gene (location): CNGA1 (4p12)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0013405
OMIM®: 613756

Definition

Retinitis pigmentosa-49 (RP49) is characterized by onset of night blindness in childhood, followed by progressive loss of visual fields and reduced visual acuity. Typical fundus features are present, including pale optic disc, attenuated vasculature, and pigment deposits in the midperiphery (Zhang et al., 2004; Katagiri et al., 2014). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of retinitis pigmentosa, see 268000. [from OMIM]

Clinical features

From HPO
Night blindness
MedGen UID:
10349
Concept ID:
C0028077
Disease or Syndrome
Inability to see well at night or in poor light.
Reduced visual acuity
MedGen UID:
65889
Concept ID:
C0234632
Finding
Diminished clarity of vision.
Peripheral visual field loss
MedGen UID:
116124
Concept ID:
C0241688
Finding
Loss of peripheral vision with retention of central vision, resulting in a constricted circular tunnel-like field of vision.
Optic disc pallor
MedGen UID:
108218
Concept ID:
C0554970
Finding
A pale yellow discoloration of the optic disc (the area of the optic nerve head in the retina). The optic disc normally has a pinkish hue with a central yellowish depression.
Bone spicule pigmentation of the retina
MedGen UID:
323029
Concept ID:
C1836926
Finding
Pigment migration into the retina in a bone-spicule configuration (resembling the nucleated cells within the lacuna of bone).
Attenuation of retinal blood vessels
MedGen UID:
480605
Concept ID:
C3278975
Finding
Rod-cone dystrophy
MedGen UID:
1632921
Concept ID:
C4551714
Disease or Syndrome
An inherited retinal disease subtype in which the rod photoreceptors appear to be more severely affected than the cone photoreceptors. Typical presentation is with nyctalopia (due to rod dysfunction) followed by loss of mid-peripheral field of vision, which gradually extends and leaves many patients with a small central island of vision due to the preservation of macular cones.
