简要总结
The main objectives of this study are:
- Improve genetic counseling by establishment of prevalences of each of genetic subtypes within a expanded population of patients with LCA taking into account ethnicity of families.
- Confirm, refine or modify the genotype-phenotype correlations.
- Edit important recommendations for:
- The clinical and paraclinical exploration of a new patient based on genotype, especially for extraocular explorations, to book at certain genetic subtypes
- Prenatal care of a couple.
- Directing families to a therapeutic protocol in progress or in development.
- Individualize a panel of families without a mutation in the known genes and identify new genes responsible.
详细描述
This study characterize the clinical history of the disease (age and start mode of visual disturbances, rate and mode of progress of disease), careful assessment of retina function and finally, in search of the mutations responsible for this condition.
A full ophthalmic check-up, one at the inclusion and 24 months :
-
- A genetic consultation taking account of family history and establishment of family tree with precision of geographical origin of birth of ascendants.
-
- A thorough ophthalmologic examination by a referring medical ophthalmologist, including:
2.1 - An interrogation on the development of the visual awakening since the birth and its possible disturbances.
2.2 - The search for abnormal movements of the eyeballs, and difficulties with regard to different lighting.
