The DNA variantswere confirmed in CLIA labs. Patients underwent ophthalmicexamination, visual acuity (VA), Humphrey and Goldman visualfield testing. Retinal images at several locations within 1.5mm offixation were obtained using an AOSLO developed by Canon, Inc.Infrared and color fundus photos, OCT and autofluorescence (AF)images were also obtained.Results: For all patients, peripheral pigmentary clumping and bonespicule retinopathy were observed on ophthalmic examination. Oneindividual was followed in the clinic for over 35 years. His VA wentfrom 20/200 at age 36 to 20/500 OD and hand motion OS at age 73.VA was reduced: 20/60, 20/40, 20/25 for patients aged 44, 16 and 11respectively in the second family. Goldman visual fields showedrestricted peripheral fields with remaining central vision. Humphreyvisual field showed no reduction of visual threshold in the centralretina for the 16 and 11 y.o., but reduced sensitivity in the 44 y.o.OCT for the 11 y.o. revealed central intact photoreceptors withperipheral thinning. The 16 y.o. had macular edema OU. AF revealeda hyper-AF ring within the macula region. As well, the 44 y.o.exhibited clumps of hypo-AF in the periphery corresponding toregions of degenerated retinal pigment epithelium. AOSLO imagingof the central macula revealed intact cone photoreceptor mosaics, andcone density fell within normal limits. Results of genetic testing (inboth families) revealed a PRPF31 c.1060 C>T mutation(p.Arg354Stop) which segregated with the phenotype and wasconsistent with the diagnosis of adRP.Conclusions: Here we report a novel PRPF31 mutation causingadRP in two apparently unrelated families. AOSLO imaging allowsvisualization of the cone mosaic within the remaining central retina inpatients with adRP. AOSLO in combination with other imagingmodalities will be useful for studying the mechanisms of diseaseprogression for degenerations including adRP.Commercial Relationships: Jessica I.

Ophthalmology& <strong>Visual</strong> Sciences, Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine,Kyoto, Japan.Purpose: To asses macular photoreceptor abnormalities in eyes withfundus albipunctatus associated with RDH5 mutation using adaptiveoptics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (AO-SLO).Methods: Ten eyes of 5 patients with fundus ablipunctatusassociated with RDH5 mutation (4 men and 1 woman from 4families; mean age, 29.6 y; range, 15-64y) and 11 eyes of 11volunteers underwent a full ophthalmologic examination, colorfundus photography, microperimetry, spectral-domain opticalcoherence tomography (SD-OCT), and imaging with a prototype AO-SLO system. Cone density and spatial organization of the conemosaic were assessed using AO-SLO images.Results: Four patients from 3 families had the same mutation inRDH5, (c.928delC/ insGAAG). One patient had another mutation inRDH5 (c.718delG), which was the novel mutation of RDH5 gene.AO-SLO revealed the presence of small patchy dark areasrepresenting cone loss in the macula of all eyes with fundusalbipunctatus, which was true even in eyes for which SD-OCT didnot reveal any visible defects in the photoreceptor layer. AO-SLOand SD-OCT showed microhole-like photoreceptor defect in thefovea in 1 eye. In eyes with fundus albipunctatus, cone density wassignificantly lower in each area at 0.5 mm and 1.0 mm from thecenter of the fovea compared to normal eyes (P = 0.014 for both). At0.5 mm and 1.0 mm from the center of the fovea, a decreased numberof cones had 6 neighbors in eyes with fundus albipunctatus (P =0.022 and 0.002). The ratio of observed mean nearest neighbordistance (NND) for each subject divided by expected NND(computed assuming a perfectly hexagonal lattice of cones with adensity equal to that observed for a given subject) was significantlylower for eyes with fundus albipunctatus than for normal eyes at 0.5©2013, Copyright by the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, Inc., all rights reserved.
