To report the concurrent presentation and management of IQCB1-associated Leber Congenital Amaurosis and NDP-associated Familial Exudative Vitreoretinopathy (FEVR).
A 6-month-old Caucasian infant presented with poor visual response, high hypermetropia, and infantile-nystagmus with a provisional diagnosis of Leber Congenital Amaurosis based on clinical findings. Genetic counseling and testing were performed with a 285 gene retinal dystrophy panel (Blueprint Genetics). Clinical characteristics, presentation, ancillary testing results, and management are described.
Two previously reported heterozygous pathogenic variants in ICQB1 were identified (c.1518_1519del (p.His506Glnfs*13) and c.1381C>T, p.Arg461*) segregating in trans. In addition, a variation of uncertain significance (VUS) was found in NDP (c.280C>T; p.His94Tyr). Fluorescein angiography was performed demonstrating peripheral avascularity and retinal telangiectasia without frank neovascularization. Peripheral ablative laser was applied to the avascular zone.
The NDP VUS likely represents a pathogenic variant given the FEVR phenotype in addition to retinal degeneration, creating a rare dual phenotype. The combination of low oxygen demand from the IQCB1-associated retinal degeneration and NDP variant may have led to a more attenuated FEVR presentation with uncertain prognosis. A molecular diagnosis informed ocular and renal surveillance, as well as the recurrence risk for future offspring.

A Norrie disease protein gene (NDP) variant, c.174 + 1G > A, was found in a Chinese family through next-generation sequencing and verified with Sanger sequencing. A case of Norrie disease was reported in the first child, and the symptoms were consistent with the results of gene sequencing. The child\'s mother, who was pregnant at the time, was found to be a carrier of the identified pathogenic variant. To determine if the fetus carried the same disease-causing variant, prenatal examination and prenatal diagnosis were conducted. The fetus had biocular vitreous abnormalities and complete retinal abnormalities. Genetic testing showed that the fetus had maternally inherited the NDP gene variant found in the proband. It was concurrently confirmed that the NDP gene variant led to the deletion of 246 bp at the 3\' end of exon 2, resulting in the deletion of the initiation codon and the occurrence of disease. Our study suggests that the diagnosis of rare diseases through next-generation sequencing, combined with prenatal ultrasound and prenatal diagnosis, can help families with known familial genetic diseases. Furthermore, the findings of this study broaden the known genetic spectrum of Norrie disease.

UNASSIGNED: Norrie disease is a rare X-linked recessive vitreoretinopathy. Variants of the NDP gene are associated with this condition. This case reports aims to demonstrate the variations of clinical presentations and exam findings of this disease.
UNASSIGNED: A retrospective chart review of the patient\'s ocular and systemic findings and imaging results was performed. The patient had received genetic testing, including mutational analysis of targeted genes associated with retrolental masses. The patient had a comprehensive eye exam for bilateral leukocoria, demonstrating large retrolental masses, anterior polar cataracts, stretched ciliary processes, and roving eye movements. B-scan ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging indicated total, funnel-shaped retinal detachments, which is a unique retinal configuration in Norrie disease. Genetic testing confirmed deletion of the coding region of all three exons in the NDP gene, which confirmed Norrie disease. He has not shown any extraocular involvement to date.
UNASSIGNED: This is a case demonstrating the association between deletion of the coding region NDP gene and Norrie disease. The phenotypical variation of this disease warrants further studies of genotype-phenotype correlations and mutations of the NDP gene.

Background: Norrie disease is a genetic disorder of the retina characterized by impaired retinal vascular development leading to retinal detachment and blindness. Non-retinal manifestations of the disorder include intellectual disability and seizure disorders. However, to date, no association with neurological mass lesions has been described.Materials and methods: Case reporResults: Here, we report a case of a patient with Norrie disease who presented with an enhancing mass of the choroid plexus that spontaneously diminished in size. Conclusion: This report suggests watchful waiting as a reasonable clinical approach to choroid plexus lesions in patients with Norrie disease.

Hereditary ophthalmic pathology is a genetically heterogeneous group of diseases that occur either as an isolated eye disorder or as a symptom of hereditary syndromes (chromosomal or monogenic). Thus, a diagnostic search in some cases of ophthalmic pathology can be time- and cost-consuming. The most challenging situation can arise when prenatal diagnosis is needed during an ongoing pregnancy.
A family was referred to the Research Centre for Medical Genetics (RCMG) for childbirth risk prognosis at 7-8 week of gestation because a previous child, a six-year-old boy, has congenital aniridia, glaucoma, retinal detachment, severe psychomotor delay, and lack of speech and has had several ophthalmic surgeries. The affected child had been previously tested for PAX6 mutations and 11p13 copy number variations, which revealed no changes. Considering the lack of pathogenic changes and precise diagnosis for the affected boy, NGS sequencing of clinically relevant genes was performed for the ongoing pregnancy; it revealed a novel hemizygous substitution NM_000266.3(NDP):c.385G > T, p.(Glu129*), in the NDP gene, which is associated with Norrie disease (OMIM #310600). Subsequent Sanger validation of the affected boy and his mother confirmed the identified substitution inherited in X-linked recessive mode. Amniotic fluid testing revealed the fetus was hemizygous for the variant and lead to the decision of the family to interrupt the pregnancy. Complications which developed during the termination of pregnancy required hysterectomy due to medical necessity.
Clinical polymorphism of hereditary ophthalmic pathology can severely complicate establishment of an exact diagnosis and make it time- and cost-consuming. NGS appears to be the method-of-choice in complicated cases, and this could substantially hasten the establishment of a diagnosis and genetic risk estimation.

We report a case of Norrie disease, diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound, confirmed by Sanger sequencing of the DNP gene from the aborted fetal cord blood and histologically. Prenatal ultrasound revealed no abnormality in either eye at 22+1 and 31+4 gestational weeks, but at 36+5 gestational weeks both eyes had massive vitreous cavity opacities with complete retinal detachment. Norrie disease was initially suspected because of an older male sibling with the disease. To our knowledge, prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of Norrie disease has been previously described only one case in 1993 in a 34-week-old fetus. The normal eye development until after 31 + 4 gestational weeks provides insight into the first manifestation and then the rapid progression of the eye disease.
