Abstract
Purpose: To report on the clinical and electrophysiological findings in a patient with oculo-auricular syndrome due to HMX1 mutation, with a follow-up of 12 years. Background: Oculo-auricular syndrome (MIM: 612109) is a rare developmental recessive condition affecting the eye and external ear that results from a mutation in the HMX1 gene. Previously described ocular abnormalities include bilateral microcornea, posterior synechiae, cataract, chorioretinal colobomas and rod-cone dystrophy. Methods: Retrospective chart review of an affected boy followed over a period of 12 years who had serial complete ophthalmologic examinations, fundus photographs, Goldmann perimetry and full-field electroretinograms (ERG). Results: Initial ERG tracings revealed generalized rod more than cone dysfunction. Thereafter, a rapid deterioration in rod and cone function was detected on follow up ERGs. Conclusion: The retinal degeneration in the recessively inherited oculo-auricular syndrome is a progressive rod-cone dystrophy. Visual prognosis is guarded considering the progressive nature of the retinal dystrophy in early infancy.
