Recessive pediatric-onset cone-rod dysfunction or dominant maculopathy in a consanguineous family harboring the peripherin mutation p.Arg220Gln.
CONCLUSIONS: The experience with this family highlights clinical features suggestive for biallelic peripherin mutations, documents cone-rod dysfunction as associated with homozygosity for the p.Arg220Gln peripherin mutation, and is an example of how examination of family members can help to guide genetic testing.
