Deep phenotypic characterization of the retinal dystrophy in patients with RNU4ATAC-associated Roifman syndrome.

This study has characterized the retinal phenotype in RNU4ATAC-associated Roifman syndrome. Retinal involvement is universal, early-onset, and overall, the retinal and FAF features are consistent with rod-cone degeneration that is slowly progressive over time. The sub-foveal retinal ultrastructure is relatively preserved in majority of patients. Phenotypic variability independent of age exists, and more study of allelic- and sex-based determinants of disease severity are necessary.
