Abstract

To present an unusual fleck retina condition associated to a novel RLBP1 gene mutation.Methods/Results: A 25-year old male presented flecks on fundoscopic examination. Clinical presentation, multimodal imaging and ERG were compatible with the diagnosis of benign familial fleck retina. Genetic analysis detected an RLBP1 gene, a gene commonly associated with more severe retinal disease. Flecked retina syndromes and other genetic retinal diseases have a complex genotype-phenotype relation and need further research for their pathophysiology to be fully understood.
