Genetic Characteristics and Clinical Manifestations of Foveal Hypoplasia in Familial Exudative Vitreoretinopathy - 16/05/24
Résumé |
PURPOSE |
This study aimed to ascertain the occurrence of foveal hypoplasia (FH) in individuals diagnosed with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR).
DESIGN |
Retrospective cohort study.
METHODS |
In this study, FEVR families and sporadic cases were diagnosed at the Eye and ENT Hospital, Fudan University, between 2017 and 2023. All patients attended routine ophthalmologic examinations and genetic screenings. The classification of FH was determined using optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans. The FH condition was classified into 2 subgroups: group A (FH being limited to the inner layers) and group B (FH affecting the outer layers). A total of 102 eyes from 58 patients were suitable for analysis.
RESULTS |
Forty-nine mutations in LRP5, FZD4, NDP, TSPAN12, KIF11, CTNNB1, and ZNF408 were examined and detected, with 26 of them being novel. Forty-seven eyes (46.1%) revealed FH. The majority (53.2%) were due to the typical grade 1 FH. Patients with mutations in LRP5 and KIF11 were found to exhibit a higher prevalence of FH (P = .0088). Group B displayed the lowest visual acuity compared with group A (P = .048) and the group without FH (P < .001). The retinal arteriolar angle in group B was significantly smaller than in group A (P = .001) and those without FH (P < .001).
CONCLUSIONS |
This study offers a new diagnostic approach and expands the spectrum of FEVR mutations. LRP5 and KIF11 were found to be more susceptible to causing FH in patients with FEVR. FEVR eyes with FH exhibited both greater visual impairment and reduced retinal arteriolar angles. The assessment of foveal status in patients with FEVR should be valued.
