Summaries for Leber Congenital Amaurosis 2

About this section
OMIM : 58 Leber congenital amaurosis comprises a group of early-onset childhood retinal dystrophies characterized by vision loss, nystagmus, and severe retinal dysfunction. Patients usually present at birth with profound vision loss and pendular nystagmus. Electroretinogram (ERG) responses are usually nonrecordable. Other clinical findings may include high hypermetropia, photodysphoria, oculodigital sign, keratoconus, cataracts, and a variable appearance to the fundus (summary by Chung and Traboulsi, 2009). For a general description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of LCA, see 204000. (204100)

MalaCards based summary : Leber Congenital Amaurosis 2, also known as lca2, is related to leber congenital amaurosis. An important gene associated with Leber Congenital Amaurosis 2 is RPE65 (Retinoid Isomerohydrolase RPE65). The drugs Pharmaceutical Solutions and Interleukin 1 Receptor Antagonist Protein have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include eye and retina, and related phenotypes are intellectual disability and cataract

Disease Ontology : 12 A Leber congenital amaurosis that is characterized by night blindness, some transient improvement in vision, and eventual progressive visual loss and has material basis in mutation in the RPE65 gene on chromosome 1.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : 76 Leber congenital amaurosis 2: 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.
