last update : 20-12-2022
Symbol RCD7
Location 10q23.33
Name retinal cone dystrophy 7
Other name(s) achromatopsia-5
Corresponding gene PDE6C
Other symbol(s) COD4, ACHM5
Main clinical features
  • early-onset cone dystrophy, visual acuity and cone ERG progressively declined in early teens, but normal rod responses in all oldest patients
  • forms presenting complete or incomplete achromatopsy
  • ERG show complete absence or severely reduced cone photoreceptor function, while rod function is mostly normal (PMID: 19887631))
  • Genetic determination autosomal recessive
    Function/system disorder eye
    Type disease
    Remark(s)
  • likely a spectrum of mechanisms of missense PDE6C mutations in achromatopsia including catalytic defects, protein mislocalization, or a specific sequence of proteolytic degradation (PMID: 25461672))
