Summary
Purpose:
To describe the phenotype in an asymptomatic 64-year-old patient with family history of Best disease and to identify the disease causing variant in the BEST1 gene.
Methods:
Detailed ocular examination of the proband including spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), fluorescein angiography and electrooculography was performed. Direct sequencing approach was used to screen the whole coding sequence of 11 exons of BEST1.
Results:
An early vitelliform stage of Best disease presenting as a small yellowish spot in the macula was observed in the right eye. The fundus appearance in the left eye was normal. SD-OCT of the right macula revealed hypodense space between the retinal pigment epithelium and the neuroretinal layer. Arden ratio was bilaterally mildly reduced; 1.36 in the right and 1.3 in the left eye. Molecular genetic analysis identified a heterozygous change c.653G>A (p.Arg218His) as the disease-causing variant.
Conclusion:
Here we report for the first time a phenotype-genotype correlation in a Czech patient with Best disease. SD-OCT is a fast method that may show the presence of small pathological changes. The screening of BEST1 gene enables identification of disease-causing variants in asymptomatic individuals with normal fundus appearance and thus improves counseling to the affected families.
