Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum and Retinitis Pigmentosa in a Patient with a Novel Mutation in the ABCC6 Gene
Ophthalmic Genetics(2023)
摘要
BackgroundPseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is an autosomal recessive condition caused by mutations in the ABCC6 gene. Ocular features include angioid streaks, peau d'orange fundus, and drusen. We report a novel ABCC6 mutation causing PXE in a patient with a mixed phenotype of PXE and retinitis pigmentosa (RP).CaseA 37-year-old female presented with decreased peripheral vision and nyctalopia. Ocular imaging revealed angioid streaks emanating from the optic nerve as well as peripheral pigmentary changes and bone spicules. Genetic testing revealed two mutations in ABCC6 in trans. No other mutation was identified.ConclusionWe present a rare case with ocular findings of PXE and RP in a patient with a novel ABCC6 mutation. The patient presented both with peripheral pigmentary changes and angioid streaks. Further investigation into this novel mutation would be beneficial to determine if the mutation is involved in the RP phenotype.
