Description : 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.;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the lecithin retinol acyltransferase gene (LRAT, 604863.0001);
