To characterize the largest cohort of individuals with RDH12-retinal dystrophy to date, and first one from South America. Retrospective multicenter international study. 78 patients (66 families) an inherited retinal biallelic variants in RDH12. Review clinical notes, ophthalmic images, molecular diagnosis. Visual function, imaging characteristics were evaluated correlated. Thirty-seven self-identified as Latino (51%) 34 White (47%). Mean age at baseline visit was 19.8 ± 13 years old (6...

Achromatopsia (ACHM) is a congenital cone photoreceptor disorder characterized by reduced visual acuity, nystagmus, photophobia, and very poor or absent color vision. Pathogenic variants in six genes encoding proteins composing the phototransduction cascade (CNGA3, CNGB3, PDE6C, PDE6H, GNAT2) of unfolded protein response (ATF6) have been related to ACHM cases, while CNGA3 CNGB3 alone are responsible for most cases. Herein, we provide clinical molecular overview 42 Brazilian patients from 38...
