Sector retinitis pigmentosa in juvenile nephronophthisis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a patient with juvenile nephronophthisis, sector retinitis pigmentosa was found as an extrarenal manifestation, establishing a hitherto undescribed variety of retinal degeneration occurring in this disorder. The retinal function in this case was identical with that in the classic type of sector retinitis pigmentosa, namely, subnormal ERG amplitudes but normal cone and rod implicit times. The range of the retinal findings and their autosomal recessive transmission are discussed. Paucity of information makes it difficult to elucidate the basic genetic defect operating in this condition.

A Japanese child with Senior-Loken syndrome.
BACKGROUND Senior-Loken syndrome is a rare disease that combines familial juvenile nephronophthisis with retinitis pigmentosa. We describe the clinical features of a Japanese patient with Senior-Loken syndrome emphasizing the importance of the ophthalmic findings in determining a correct diagnosis. CASE A 6-year-old Japanese girl had anemia, mental retardation, and poor vision. OBSERVATIONS...
متن کاملInteraction of ciliary disease protein retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator with nephronophthisis-associated proteins in mammalian retinas
PURPOSE Retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator (RPGR) is a cilia-centrosomal protein that frequently mutates in X-linked retinal degeneration and associated disorders. RPGR interacts with multiple ciliary proteins in the retina. Perturbations in the assembly of RPGR complexes are associated with retinal degeneration. This study was undertaken to delineate the composition and dissection of RPGR c...
متن کاملFamilial juvenile nephronophthisis, Jeune's syndrome, and associated disorders.
Fourteen patients with familial juvenile nephronophthisis are described, eight of whom displayed one or more additional disorders. One boy with short limbed dwarfism and an abnormal chest was considered to have Jeune's syndrome; review of the published reports supports the view that nephronophthisis is the principal cause of renal failure in this disorder. Another patient with renal failure and...
متن کاملMolecular Genetic Studies of Tunisian Patients with Juvenile Nephronophtisis
Juvenile nephronophtisis (NPHP), a rare recessive cystic kidney disease, represents the most common genetic cause of endstage renal disease in the first two decades of life. A few studies have investigated the clinical and molecular characteristics of NPHP and related ciliopathies in the Tunisian population. We reported the results of the largest molecular genetic investigation. Since 2004, 71 ...
متن کاملEDUCATIONAL REVIEW Nephronophthisis
Nephronophthisis (NPH) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by a chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis that progress to terminal renal failure during the second decade (juvenile form) or before the age of 5 years (infantile form). In the juvenile form, a urine concentration defect starts during the first decade, and a progressive deterioration of renal function is observed in the foll...
