Retinitis pigmentosa 26(RP26)

MedGen UID:
333996
Concept ID:
C1842127
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: RP 26; RP26
 
Gene (location): CERKL (2q31.3)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0012024
OMIM®: 608380

Definition

Any retinitis pigmentosa in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the CERKL gene. [from MONDO]

Clinical features

From HPO
Constriction of peripheral visual field
MedGen UID:
68613
Concept ID:
C0235095
Finding
An absolute or relative decrease in retinal sensitivity extending from edge (periphery) of the visual field in a concentric pattern. The visual field is the area that is perceived simultaneously by a fixating eye.
Optic disc pallor
MedGen UID:
108218
Concept ID:
C0554970
Finding
A pale yellow discoloration of the optic disc (the area of the optic nerve head in the retina). The optic disc normally has a pinkish hue with a central yellowish depression.
Attenuation of retinal blood vessels
MedGen UID:
480605
Concept ID:
C3278975
Finding
Visual impairment
MedGen UID:
777085
Concept ID:
C3665347
Finding
Visual impairment (or vision impairment) is vision loss (of a person) to such a degree as to qualify as an additional support need through a significant limitation of visual capability resulting from either disease, trauma, or congenital or degenerative conditions that cannot be corrected by conventional means, such as refractive correction, medication, or surgery.
Undetectable light- and dark-adapted electroretinogram
MedGen UID:
867212
Concept ID:
C4021570
Finding
Absence of the combined rod-and-cone response on electroretinogram.
Rod-cone dystrophy
MedGen UID:
1632921
Concept ID:
C4551714
Disease or Syndrome
An inherited retinal disease subtype in which the rod photoreceptors appear to be more severely affected than the cone photoreceptors. Typical presentation is with nyctalopia (due to rod dysfunction) followed by loss of mid-peripheral field of vision, which gradually extends and leaves many patients with a small central island of vision due to the preservation of macular cones.
