    Title translation Klinische Heterogenität bei 2 Geschwistern mit einer heterozygoten pathogenen PRPH2-Variante.
    Abstract Purpose: The aim of the study was to describe the clinical and genetic correlation of a c.469 G>A p.(Asp157Asn) heterozygous pathogenic variant in PRPH2 in two siblings of Italian origin.
    Patients and methods: Both patients underwent ophthalmic examination, electrophysiological testing, autofluorescence imaging, and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Screening for pathogenic variants of the obtained DNA from the family members was carried out.
    Results: The 52-year-old (♀, index patient) and 50-year-old (♂) siblings had BCVA (OD and OS) of 20/20 and 20/16 (♀) and 20/25 and 20/40 (♂), respectively, and suffered increased sensitivity to glare. Yellow irregular macular deposits, numerous small irregular hypo- and hyperreflective spots at the posterior pole, a patchy loss of photoreceptors, and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in the perifoveal region were seen. Electrophysiology showed dysfunction of rods and cones, with more affected cone dysfunction in the index patient, contrary to the generalised rod dysfunction in the brother of the index patient. The clinical, electrophysiological, and multimodal imaging findings of both siblings pointed towards Stargardt retinopathy with heterogenic presentation. The DNA analysis identified an autosomal dominant c.469 G>A p.(Asp157Asn) heterozygous pathogenic variant in PRPH2 associated with autosomal dominant cone-rod dystrophy and rod-cone dystrophy. PRPH2 codes for peripherin-2, a membrane protein that consists of 346 amino acids.
    Conclusions: Our findings confirm a heterogeneity in clinical presentation associated with pathogenic variants in PRPH2. It may follow either an autosomal dominant or an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance and show a very heterogeneous clinical manifestation of retinal degeneration, e.g., autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (♂ sibling; II-3) and autosomal dominant cone-rod dystrophy (index ♀ sibling; II-2), autosomal dominant macular dystrophy, and also autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa.

    Abstract Chromosomal abnormalities on the short arm of chromosome 2 in the region p11.2 have been associated with developmental delay, intellectual disability, facial anomalies, abnormal ears, skeletal and genital malformations. Here we describe a patient with a de novo interstitial heterozygous microdeletion on the short arm of chromosome 2 in the region p11.2-p12. He presents with facial dysmorphism characterized by a broad and low root of the nose and low-set protruding ears. Clinical examinations during follow-up visits revealed congenital pendular nystagmus, decreased visual acuity and psychomotor development disorder including intellectual disability. The heterozygous 5 Mb-microdeletion was characterized by an array CGH (Comparative Genomic Hybridization) analysis. In the past two decades, nine patients with microdeletions in this region have been identified by array CGH analysis and were reported in the literature. All these patients show psychomotor development disorder and outer and/or inner ear anomalies. In addition, most of the patients have mild to severe intellectual disability and show facial malformations. We reviewed the literature on PubMed and OMIM using the gene/loci names as search terms in an attempt to identify correlations between genes located within the heterozygous microdeletion and the clinical phenotype of the patient, in order to define a recognizable phenotype for the 2p11.2p12 microdeletion syndrome. We discuss additional symptoms that are not systematically present in all patients and contribute to a heterogeneous clinical presentation of this microdeletion syndrome.

    Abstract Background: Clustering of microglia around the vasculature has been reported in the retina and the brain after systemic administration of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in mice. LPS acts via activation of Toll-like receptor 4 (TRL4), which is expressed in several cell types including microglia, monocytes and vascular endothelial cells. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of systemic LPS in the pigmented mouse retina and the involvement of endothelial TLR4 in LPS-induced retinal microglia activation.
    Methods: C57BL/6J, conditional knockout mice that lack Tlr4 expression selectively on endothelial cells (Tek
    Results: Activation of microglia, infiltration of monocyte-derived macrophages, impaired ribbon synapse organization and retinal dysfunction were observed after the LPS exposure in C57BL/6J and Tek
    Conclusions: The findings of the present study suggest that systemic LPS exposure can have detrimental effects in the healthy retina and that TLR4 expressed on endothelial cells is essential for retinal microglia activation and retinal dysfunction upon systemic LPS challenge. This important finding provides new insights into the role of microglia-endothelial cell interaction in inflammatory retinal disease.
