영문 초록

Mutations in the RPE65 gene, associated with Leber congenital amaurosis, early-onset severe retinal dystrophy, and retinitispigmentosa, gained growing attention since gene therapy for patients with RPE65-associated retinal dystrophy is available inclinical practice. RPE65 gene accounts for a very small proportion of patients with inherited retinal degeneration, especiallyAsian patients. Because RPE65-associated retinal dystrophy shares common clinical characteristics, such as early-onset severenyctalopia, nystagmus, low vision, and progressive visual field constriction, with retinitis pigmentosa by other geneticmutations, appropriate genetic testing is essential to make a correct diagnosis. Also, fundus abnormalities can be minimal inearly childhood, and the phenotype is highly variable depending on the type of mutations in RPE65-associated retinal dystrophy,which makes a diagnostic difficulty. The aim of this paper is to review the epidemiology of RPE65-associated retinaldystrophy, mutation spectrum, genetic diagnosis, clinical characteristics, and voretigene neparvovec, a gene therapy productfor the treatment of RPE65-related retinal dystrophy.
