In addition to a previously described pathogenic variant, Ile167_Gly169del, one pathogenic missense variant in CRB1, Lys801Ter, not previously associated with macular dystrophy, is reported here. While CRB1 mutations have been more commonly described in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA), we demonstrate that mutations in CRB1 can cause a maculopathy with initial features similar to fenestrated sheen macular dystrophy (FSMD) that later evolves into severe macular atrophy.
