CaseMethod2 Sanger
CaseGenotypingMethod PCR amplified then direct sequenced the entire coding region of CBS. (PMID: 9156316): Restriction analysis confirmed the presence of two variants. The variant c.430G>A destroys a TaqI site. Thus, TaqI digestion yielded uncleaved 155bp fragments in both the proband and his father, while the WT was cleaved into 107 and 48bp fragments. The c.1316G>A variant likewise destroys a HapII site. The proband and his father had uncleaved 120bp fragments while the WT had 87 and 33bp fragments on HapII digestion. As both variants were detected in the proband, father, and two paternal aunts, c.1316G>A and c.430G>A were proposed to be in cis.

CaseGenotypingMethod: Whole exome sequencing was performed on the proband's sibling, with all SNVs and variants detected called, investigated, and filtered for pathogenicity. Mitochondrial DNA mutation tests were negative, as well as a southern blot for deletions in the muscle. Sanger sequencing of SURF1, SCO1, SCO2, COX10, NDUFV1, NDUFS7, and PANK2 revealed no pathogenic mutation. The WES identified a homozygous variant in HIBCH that was orthogonally validated. PCR-based Sanger sequencing was performed on the proband and the parents to confirm the presence of the mutations and recessive inheritance.

FamilyGenotypingMethod: Homozygosity mapping and fine mapping in ten members of two consanguineous families (the siblings in whom Hartnup disorder was originally discovered; family A) and in siblings from the US revealed linkage of Hartnup disorder to 5p15 only in family A, with a maximum combined multipoint lod score of 2.31 at 11.24 cM. This confirmed a previous study showing linkage to the same region. Both SLC6A18 and SLC6A19 were investigated for possible pathogenicity, with SLC6A19's pattern of expression supporting it as a primary candidate. Intronic primers were used to bidirectionally sequence each exon and flanking intronic regions, locating a homozygous splice site mutation that perfectly segregated with the phenotype.
FamilyPreviousTesting: Consistent testing showed the consistent phenotypes were the hyperaminoaciduria among all family members; Linkage analysis for SLC3A2, SLC7A8, SLC1A5, SLC6A18, and SLC6A20 were all negative for amy correlation

CaseGenotypingMethod: Five loci were investigated for evidence of linkage to Hartnup due to their established role in amino acid transport including SLC3A2, SLC7A8, SLC1A5, SLC6A18, and SLC6A19. These 5 regions were studied with microsattelite markers and produced linkage only between D5S392 and D5S417, the region with SLC6A18 and 19. SLC6A18 did not increase neutral amino acid uptake in X. laevis oocytes so SLC6A19 was investigated and directly sequenced in the families each of which displayed a causal variant.

We here add our observation of a similar bi-allelic OPA1 case with Behr syndrome. This proband is a 20-year-old Italian boy, born from unrelated parents (Fig. 1A, IV-4 in the pedigree), who presented a congenital nystagmus at birth and bilateral optic atrophy was recognized in the first year of life. He acquired autonomous walking at 14 months of age, but clumsy gait and frequent falls were reported. Motor difficulties and visual acuity worsened during childhood whereas cognitive development was normal. Brain MRI performed at the age of 4 and 7 years were normal. At 6 years of age, neurological examination showed ataxic-spastic gait with positive Romberg sign. Fundus exam confirmed bilateral optic atrophy (Fig. 1B). Tendon reflexes were brisk at the lower limbs and there was bilateral Babinski sign. The patient also had bilateral talipes equinovarus. Nerve conduction studies showed delayed sensory-motor velocities with reduced amplitudes of motor potentials and loss or severe reduction of sensory action potentials. Somatosensory evoked potentials could not be recorded and motor evoked potentials showed absent potentials at lower limbs and delayed latency at upper limbs. Brainstem evoked potentials were delayed bilaterally. Repeated urine organic acid gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis revealed mild elevation of 3-methylglutaconic acid (8–20 μmol/mmol creatinine). At muscle biopsy histology was normal and spectrophotometric assessment of the OXPHOS enzymatic activities was normal in muscle homogenate. Sural nerve biopsy demonstrated a marked reduction of the large-diameter myelinated axons (Fig. 1E–G). Teased fibre analysis disclosed regions of demyelination confined to the paranodal region, clustered in some axons, suggesting secondary demyelination. Ultrastructural examination confirmed the reduction of myelinated axons (not shown). A clinical revaluation at 15 years of age demonstrated elevated serum lactic acid after standardized exercise (3.9 mM, normal range 0.6–2.4mM) and optical coherence tomography revealed a generalized reduction of the retinal fibre layer thickness (Fig. 1D). At neurological examination, the patient was wheelchair bound due to severe sensory ataxia and spastic paraparesis and signs of cerebellar dysfunction, such as dysmetria, dysdiadochokinesia and positive Holmes rebound phenomenon, were evident. His vision was light perception with severe nistagmus in any direction of gaze. This clinical picture remained stable in the subsequent years. Figure 1. Open in a new tab (A) Reconstruction of the paternal and maternal genealogies of the proband with Behr syndrome (IV-4). The maternal side is remarkable for segregating isolated optic neuropathy in a dominant fashion associated with the heterozygous c.1705+1G>T splicing mutation. (B–D) Ophthalmological investigations. The fundus picture of the proband (IV-4) reveals severe optic atrophy with bilateral pale optic disc (B). The fundus picture of the mother (III-4) shows only a mild optic atrophy with temporal pallor of the optic discs bilaterally (C). Optical coherence tomography examination of retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness in the proband shows a diffuse reduction of thickness compatible with the severe optic atrophy (D). (E–G) Semithin cross-section of the sural nerve biopsy. A marked depletion of large myelinated axons affects the sural nerve (E and F). At higher magnification some axons appear to have a thin myelin sheath related to the axonal diameter (G). (H–L) Brain MRI and 1HMR spectroscopy studies. On the left (H) the sagittal FSPGR (Fast SPoiled GRadient echo) T1 shows a mild cerebellar atrophy in the proband (IV-4), and on the right (I) a mild pathological accumulation of lactate (rectangle) was detected in the CSF of lateral ventriculi. On the axial FLAIR T2 sequence no signal changes were detected in the proband (IV-4) (J), whereas few focal hyperintensities, related to not specific areas of gliosis, in the cerebral white matter of the proband’s father (III-3) (K) and mother (III-4) (L) were present. TEMP = temporal; SUP = superior; NAS = nasal; INF = inferior; MRI = magnetic resonance imaging; HMR = proton magnetic resonance; CSF = cerebrospinal fluid; FLAIR = Fluid attenuated inversion recovery.The 43-year-old proband’s mother (Fig. 1A, III-4 in the pedigree) had isolated optic atrophy, most evident on the temporal side (Fig. 1C), which segregated as a dominant trait in her family (Fig. 1A). The remaining neurological examination was normal. Nerve conduction velocities and somatosensory evoked potentials were normal. The other affected individuals in this family all suffered a non-syndromic optic atrophy, which started in childhood and progressively worsened, but remained as an isolated symptom. The proband’s father and the elder sister (Fig. 1A, III-3 and IV-3, respectively) are healthy. In particular, neither signs of optic neuropathy nor abnormal nerve conduction velocities were recorded upon neuro-ophthalmological exam. Both parents and the proband have been investigated by brain MRI and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) in a 1.5 T scanner. There were no MRI structural or metabolic abnormalities in the father (III-3) and the mother (III-4) of the proband, except for a few focal hyperintensities in the cerebral white matter (Fig. 1K–L), whereas in the proband mild cerebellar atrophy (Fig. 1H,J) and pathological accumulation of lactate in the CSF of lateral ventriculi (Fig. 1I) were evident. Direct sequencing of the entire coding regions of the OPA1 gene and the flanking intronic boundaries disclosed two heterozygous mutations. The first c.1705+1G>T mutation occurs in intron 17 and involves the highly conserved donor splice site consensus sequence. Analysis of cDNA revealed aberrant transcript splicing with the activation of a cryptic splice donor site in exon 17, which predicts a prematurely truncated gene product (data not shown). This haploinsufficiency mutation was also identified in the affected mother and in nine maternal relatives, three of which (III-10, III-14 and III-18) are clinically unaffected (Fig. 1A). The second mutation identified in the proband is missense, c.1146A>G (p.I382M), which lies in exon 12, being also present in the clinically unaffected father and sister. Interestingly this is the same missense mutation already reported in other bi-allelic cases (Schaaf et al., 2011; Bonifert et al., 2014). This mutation was found only in one other patient in Italy, out of 132 OPA1 complete sequences. This patient is currently under investigation, being another case of Behr syndrome with optic atrophy complicated by ataxia, but with only the heterozygous c.1146A>G (p.I382M) mutation at the moment (Leonardo Caporali and Valerio Carelli, unpublished data). In the Tübingen cohort of patients with bilateral optic atrophy (in most cases isolated optic atrophy) no further case with the c.1146A>G mutation was found among ∼500 patients that underwent sequencing of all coding exons of the OPA1 gene. This mutation has also been found at low frequency (about 1/1000) in large public data sets (1000 Genome Project, NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project). Sequence analysis of the OPA3 gene excluded the presence of pathogenic mutations. Fibroblasts were grown from skin biopsies obtained from the proband and both parents, after approval of the Internal Review Board and signed informed consent. In fibroblasts we first assessed mitochondrial network morphology, after loading mitochondria with Mitotracker Red and examination by fluorescence microscopy as previously reported (Zanna et al., 2008). The mitochondrial network of fibroblasts grown in standard Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium-glucose medium bearing the heterozygous c.1705+1G>T (III:4) and c.1146A>G (III:3) mutations, respectively was similar to controls (Fig. 2A–C), whereas the fibroblasts from the proband were scored into three categories, those with a typical normal filamentous network (Fig. 2D), those with a hyperfragmented pattern (Fig. 2E) and those with filamentous mitochondria containing balloon-like structures (Fig. 2F), each class being present at approximately the same percentage. To investigate whether these OPA1 mutations could affect the bioenergetic efficiency, we measured the rate of mitochondrial ATP synthesis in digitonin-permeabilized fibroblasts. Compared to controls, mitochondrial ATP synthesis driven by complex I substrates (pyruvate and malate) was increased in the proband’s father fibroblasts (III:3) bearing the c.1146A>G mutation, and incrementally reduced in the mother’s fibroblasts bearing the c.1705+1G>T (III:4) mutation and in the proband’s fibroblasts (IV:4) carrying both mutations. The latter was significantly lower compared to his father’s fibroblasts. A similar but less severe situation was observed for the ATP synthesis driven by the complex II substrate (succinate) (Fig. 2G). Overall, these results indicate that the biallelic mutation in the proband led to abnormal network dynamics and impaired ATP synthesis through complex I. Both parent’s mutations were not severe enough to impair mitochondrial network dynamics under the experimental conditions used, but the mother’s mutation impaired partially complex I-dependent ATP synthesis. Figure 2. Open in a new tab (A–F) Mitochondrial network morphology. Control (A) and patient (B–F) fibroblasts were grown in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium-glucose and loaded with Mitotracker Red as described in Zanna et al. (2008). Representative out of eight similar images are shown for each individual. (G) ATP synthesis. Fibroblasts were treated with 50 µg/ml digitonin, the rate of ATP synthesis was measured as described in Zanna et al. (2008) and was normalized for citrate synthase (CS) activity. Data (mean ± SEM) were obtained from five controls and the three OPA1 mutated fibroblasts. The experiment was performed at least in triplicate. Asterisk denotes values significantly different (P < 0.05) by Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA on Ranks. GPD = Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase.

A 5-year-old south Asian female was incidentally found to have hepatomegaly on a trip to India, where she became acutely ill with fever, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Blood work done at that time demonstrated mildly elevated liver function tests (AST 48 U/L, ALT 80 U/L), and an abdominal ultrasound revealed hepatomegaly without biliary or splenic abnormalities. She was prescribed an antibiotic and her symptoms gradually resolved.A month after her return to the United States, her pediatrician noted persistent hepatomegaly and the new development of fever. She was referred to the emergency department because of suspicion of a tropical infectious disease. A repeat ultrasound demonstrated persistent hepatomegaly. Her transaminases (AST 133 U/L, ALT 112 U/L) remained elevated. The infectious workup was negative for cytomegalovirus, hepatitis A, Lyme disease, and malaria. She did have a positive Epstein-Barr virus IgM. Repeat blood work was obtained at follow-up infectious disease clinic visit where she was again found to have hepatomegaly (7 cm below the costal margin) and mildly abnormal transaminases. A computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis (Figure 1) was performed that demonstrated hepatomegaly but had otherwise normal findings. Her fever resolved within 2 weeks. She was otherwise well and was not on any medications. There was no family history of liver disease. Her immunizations were up to date. Because of persistent hepatomegaly, she was referred to the liver clinic.Open in a separate windowFigure 1Computed tomography of abdomen and pelvis. The liver is enlarged, measuring up to 17 cm in width and craniocaudal dimension. The contour is smooth. The hepatic parenchyma is homogenous without a focal mass. There is no intrahepatic biliary dilatation. The portal and hepatic venous systems are patent and nondilated.In the liver clinic, she was noted to have an enlarged, firm liver, palpable 8 cm below the costal margin with no associated splenomegaly. Test results for autoimmune hepatitis, WD, and alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency were negative. Nonfasting lipid levels were abnormal; repeat testing showed a fasting total cholesterol of 305 mg/dL and a triglyceride level of 142 mg/dL.On the basis of a clinical suspicion of a diagnosis of CESD, a liver biopsy was performed. It revealed diffuse, microvesicular steatosis in the hepatic parenchyma (Figure 2(a)). Portal tracts were expanded by foamy macrophages containing finely vacuolated material, which was periodic acid-Schiff positive and resistant to diastase digestion. Trichrome stain for collagen showed mild portal fibrosis with early delicate bridging fibrosis. Ultrastructurally, the cytoplasm had a moth-eaten appearance with the presence of lipid droplets and cholesterol crystals (Figure 2(b)). There was no evidence of hepatocellular necrosis, cholestasis, or bile duct proliferation.Open in a separate windowFigure 2(a) Liver biopsy, periodic acid-Schiff stain with diastase (magnification, ×40). Lipid demonstrated within the hepatocellular cytoplasm (arrows). (b) Electron micrograph (direct magnification, ×2500). The hepatocellular cytoplasm in places has a moth-eaten appearance with lipid droplets (arrows). Additionally, some foci show cholesterol crystals (∗) free in the hepatocellular cytoplasm.Liver tissue was sent to Dr. D. Wenger's Lysosomal Diseases Testing Laboratory at Thomas Jefferson University. She was found to have a low acid lipase activity of 7.2 (no units provided by Dr. D. Wenger's laboratory) in the liver. Follow-up testing through a commercial laboratory demonstrated low level of lysosomal acid lipase activity (0.008 nmol/punch/h) in blood. Lysosomal acid lipase gene sequence analysis was performed, which demonstrated that she was heterozygous for the following two mutations: c.57_60delTGAG and c.894G>A. Both parents underwent mutation analysis. The mother was confirmed to have the c.894G>A mutation while the father carried the c.57_60delTGAG mutation. The c.57_60delTGAG is a new mutation not previously described in the literature in patients with CESD.Go to:

Portal tracts were expanded by foamy macrophages containing finely vacuolated material, which was periodic acid-Schiff positive and resistant to diastase digestion. Trichrome stain for collagen showed mild portal fibrosis with early delicate bridging fibrosis. Ultrastructurally, the cytoplasm had a moth-eaten appearance with the presence of lipid droplets and cholesterol crystals. Low acid lipase activity of 7.2 (no units provided) in the liver, with follow up low level of lysosomal acid lipase activity (0.008 nmol/punch/h) in blood.

CasePreviousTesting: Abdominal ultrasound. Infection workup was negative for cytomegalovirus, hepatitis A, Lyme disease, and malaria. She did have a positive Epstein-Barr virus IgM. CT of the abdomen and pelvis revealed an enlarged liver measuring up to 17cm in width and craniocaudal dimension. Test results for autoimmune hepatitis, WD, and alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency were negative. Liver biopsy.

Variant: c.57_60delTGAG and c.894G>A
ClinVarID: or CAID: CA2573331826 and 203361
gnomAD: This proband has a four-nucleotide deletion, c.57_60delTGAG, in exon 2 of the LIPA gene. This variant is predicted to result in a premature translation stop downstream of the deletion (p.Glu20GlyfsTer6). The variant is not present in gnomAD. This proband is scored default points.
This proband has a synonymous variant, Gln298= on exon 8/10 in a cononical splice site, which causes an abnormal splicing that results in the in-frame skipping of exon 8. The variant is reported in 167/128942 European (non-Finnish) alleles at a frequency of 0.001295, with no homozygotes in gnomAD v2.1.1. This is the most frequent variant in CESD patients (present in 40-60% of patients reported in the literature), but it is not confirmed if this is due to a hotspot or a common ancestor. This proband is scored default points.
AddCaseInfo: Confirmed in trans
PreviouslyPublished: no
VariantEvidence: Predicted evidence only for deletion variant.
Expression analysis in patient fibroblasts found lysosomal acidic lipase (LAL) activity to be reduced to 6-12% of wild type (PMID: 22227072).

The novel sequence changes include 4 deletions (153delC, 628del5, 740delC, 747delG), 5 nonsense mutations (Q60X, Y167X, Q400X, R619X, R628X), 6 missense mutations (C205Y, G208V, H240R, A319V, P496R, S633L), a splice site mutation (IVS12+5g>a), and a rare polymorphism (A591T)

A 46-year-old Spanish male (Patient 1) born to healthy and non-consanguineous parents was referred because of a long history of muscle cramps and fasciculations affecting upper and lower limbs with onset during adolescence and associated to stutter speech. He had developed muscle weakness a few years prior to the visit affecting his ability to climb stairs or stand up from sitting and had recently started with falls when going downstairs. Neurological examination revealed diffuse fasciculations in lower limbs and mild weakness affecting both psoas and quadriceps that were atrophic (Fig. 1A). Tendon reflexes were hypoactive in lower limbs and normal in upper limbs. Sensory examination was normal. There was no spasticity and plantar reflexes were flexor. There were no signs of cerebellar involvement. Examination of the cranial nerves was normal without involvement of the bulbar muscles. Speech was described by speech therapists as spastic with a dystonic component leading to evident stuttering (Supplemental video 1).

RESULTS Gene and mutation identification Analysis of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) microarray genotypes from six patients with PHID identified a single common 1.4 Mb region of shared homozygosity within cytogenetic band 10q22.1, between SNPs rs10509321 and rs1900515 (Fig. 1A). Inspection of the Ensembl and UCSC Genome Browsers demonstrated that the region included 14 known and predicted genes: ADAMTS14, C10orf27, CDH23, EIF4EBP2, LRRC2, KIAA1274, NODAL, NPFFR1, PCBD1, PPA1, PRF1, SLC29A3, SGPL1, UNC5B. Positional candidate genes were selected for sequencing in order to identify pathogenic mutations (Fig. 1B). Five different homozygous mutations were identified in the SLC29A3 gene encoding the equilibrative nucleoside transporter 3 (Fig. 1C, Table 1). Human ENT3 has been shown recently to be the cause of H syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder with overlapping skin features to PHID (6), indicating that these are allelic disorders. hENT3 belongs to a structurally unique protein family of nucleoside and/or nucleobase transporters (13,14). The five homozygous mutations identified segregated with the disease within each family and were not present in over 100 Lebanese and Pakistani control chromosomes.

The deletion causes a frame shift mutation p.Y314Tfs in transmembrane domain 7 and is predicted to result in the substitution of transmembrane domains 8–11 with an irrelevant protein sequence of 91 amino acids derived from an alternate reading frame. The nonsense mutation p.E444X is predicted to lead to premature protein truncation with loss of part of the final cytoplasmic domain and transmembrane domain 11 of hENT3. It would appear unlikely that the either residual protein would be capable of nucleoside transport function.Three homozygous missense mutations of SLC29A3 were identified to involve conserved amino acids (Table 1). The first missense mutation involves Methionine116 in transmembrane domain 2, which is a hydrophobic amino acid in species as distantly related as humans and nematodes, with a large basic amino acid, Arginine (p.M116R; Fig. 1C and E). The Grantham score for this substitution is 91, which is classified as a moderate change (15). Analysis using the SIFT prediction software also classifies this as a likely deleterious change (16). The introduction of a large basic amino acid into a transmembrane domain would likely result in significant disruption of the hydrophobic nature of the domain and result in retention of the transporter protein within the endoplasmic reticulum, as has been demonstrated for other membrane proteins (17).The second missense change is a recently reported Glycine to Arginine substitution at hENT3 amino acid 437 (p.G437R Fig. 1C), which is located in the putative cytoplasmic domain between transmembrane domains 10 and 11. This is the only mutation in the PHID cohort that is shared with the known mutations in H syndrome. Of particular interest is the observation that this is the sole individual in the PHID cohort who has not developed insulin-dependent DM. The p.G437R change involves the substitution of a large basic amino acid at a position where 41 members of the ENT family as distantly related as humans and Arabidopsis thaliana encode a small hydrophobic amino acid (Fig. 1E) (18). The Grantham difference for this change is 125 and is classified as a moderately radical change.The third missense change occurs at hENT3 amino acid residue 449, which is also located in the final putative intracellular domain between transmembrane domains 10 and 11, and involves the substitution of a Threonine by an Arginine (p.T449R). The amino acids encoded at this position in hENT3 orthologs are small polar/uncharged or small hydrophobic residues (Fig. 1E). Substitution by arginine is associated with a Grantham score of 71 and is predicted by SIFT as not to be tolerated.

VariantEvidence: PMID:8162015 previously reported this variant to be associated with the infantile form of SD. A fibroblast line from this patient with the infantile form of the disease was investigated for mutations by single strand conformation polymorphism analysis and direct sequencing of PCR products. A nonsense mutation was found which generated a stop codon at codon 284. The study investigated the steady-state level of mRNA produced by cells containing stop codons using a competitive polymerase chain reaction technique and found that at codon 284, the mRNA levels were 0.8%, as percent of normal per single gene dose.

This study found the total Hex activity to be 8% of the normal level, with only 0.5% being hex B which was reported to be insignificant. This intronic mutation affects the 5' donor site of intron 13 and results in insertion of 48 nucleotides which shifts the reading frame and results in the generation of a PTC.

In family L, the novel variant p.Lys22Asn was predicted to be pathogenic by both CADD and MutationTaster, and its frequency in the population is unknown. This variant may be related to the presentation of Stargardt disease in two individual cases. In individual I1, this variant was associated with the complex allele p.[Ser1642Arg; Val1682_Val1686del], whereas in individual II2, this variant was associated with the p.Gly1901Glu variant. This repetition may support the hypothesis that the variant is indeed pathogenic.

CasePreviousTesting: Previous testing for mutations in the CLN1, CLN2, CLN3, CLN6, and CLN8 had already occurred, using PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing to exclude the possibility of variants in the exons and surrounding noncoding regions. Genome-wide analysis methods were not used, as NCL had already been diagnosed based on clinical phenotypes.
CaseMethod1: PCR amplification of the coding and surrounding non-coding regions of each gene, followed by bidirectional Sanger sequencing
CaseMethod2: as mentioned
CaseGenotypingMethod: CLN5 genotyping was performed by PCR amplification of the four exons and surrounding non-coding regions was performed, followed by bi-directional Sanger sequencing. Synthetic multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) was then used to calculate average gene dosage ratio for each ratio, in order to detect large deletions.
Variant: The patient is believed to be homozygous for the NM_006493.4(CLN5):c.772del p.Arg258GlufsTer29 variant.

In our study, a patient from arRP family 4263 was identified to carry a novel homozygous nonsense variant, 1786C>T:p.(R596*), in ADAM9 ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"NM_003816.2","term_id":"54292119","term_text":"NM_003816.2"}}NM_003816.2), which introduces a premature stop in exon16, resulting in a truncated protein or nonsense-mediated decay. A segregation test indicated that the nonsense variant cosegregated with the disease phenotype (Fig. 5C). To clarify the ambiguity between the molecular and clinical diagnosis, we reevaluated the clinical information for this patient. Patient 4263_1 was a 9-year-old boy from a consanguineous family. Initially, he experienced severe night blindness but no significant loss in daylight vision. His vision acuity was 0.3/0.3 (decimal Snellen) at first clinical visit and decreased rapidly to 0.08/0.1 (decimal Snellen). Full-field ERG showed both rod and cone functions were impaired. However, the amplitude of b-wave in dark-adapted rod response was more severely decreased compared with cone responses. Fundus image and OCT are shown in Supplementary Figure S3. Based on these clinical phenotypes and the ADAM9 mutation identified in the family, the patients were rediagnosed to have CRD with early-onset retinal dystrophy.
