Novel PDE6B Mutation Presenting with Retinitis Pigmentosa - A Case Series of Three Patients.

CONCLUSIONS: In children complaining of night blindness, a PDE6Β-associated RP needs to be taken into consideration. Apart from helping patients with optical aids, such as polarizing filters or magnification, a specific diagnosis is especially important in view of emerging genetic treatment options. In particular, in RP patients with a PDE6Β mutation, a phase I/II study is currently ongoing (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03328130). PMID: 30646425 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
