Preferred Label : Leber congenital amaurosis 15;

Symbol : LCA15;

CISMeF acronym : LCA15;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Included titles and symbols : Retinitis pigmentosa, juvenile, tulp1-related;

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 (summary by Gu et al., 1997). Mutation in TULP1 can also cause a form of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (RP14; 600132). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of the genetic heterogeneity of Leber congenital amaurosis, see LCA1 (204000); for retinitis pigmentosa, see 268000.;

Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the tubby-like protein 1 gene (TULP1, 602280.0004);
