OMIM : ⁵⁷ Autosomal recessive childhood-onset severe retinal dystrophy is a heterogeneous group of disorders affecting rod and cone photoreceptors simultaneously. The most severe cases are termed Leber congenital amaurosis, whereas the less aggressive forms are usually considered juvenile retinitis pigmentosa (Gu et al., 1997). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of Leber congenital amaurosis, see LCA1 (204000); for retinitis pigmentosa, see 268000. (613341)

MalaCards based summary : Leber Congenital Amaurosis 14, also known as lca14, is related to stargardt disease 1 and severe early-childhood-onset retinal dystrophy, and has symptoms including photophobia An important gene associated with Leber Congenital Amaurosis 14 is LRAT (Lecithin Retinol Acyltransferase). Affiliated tissues include retina, bone and eye, and related phenotypes are nystagmus and photophobia

Disease Ontology : ¹² A Leber congenital amaurosis that has material basis in mutation in the LRAT gene on chromosome 4q31.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : ⁷⁵ Leber congenital amaurosis 14: A severe dystrophy of the retina, typically becoming evident in the first years of life. Visual function is usually poor and often accompanied by nystagmus, sluggish or near-absent pupillary responses, photophobia, high hyperopia and keratoconus.
