Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) is a retinal dystrophy that leads to schisis (splitting) of the neural retina leading to reduced visual acuity in affected men. The condition accounts for almost all congenital retinoschisis, with occasional reports of autosomal dominant ...
Clinical Description OMIM Gieser and Falls (1961) observed a macular cyst in 1 eye of a possible female carrier in a kindred with 9 affected males and suggested that it might represent an expression of the carrier state. In contrast to ...
Genotype-Phenotype Correlations OMIM In a study of 86 patients with X-linked retinoschisis in whom the causative RS1 mutation had been identified, Pimenides et al. (2005) reported no correlation between mutation type and severity of disease, even in patients of similar ages. ...
Molecular genetics OMIM Sauer et al. (1997) performed mutation analyses of XLRS1 in affected individuals from 9 unrelated RS families and identified 1 nonsense, 1 frameshift, 1 splice acceptor, and 6 missense mutations (e.g., 300839.0001) segregating with the disease phenotype in ...
Population genetics OMIM Forsius and Eriksson (1980) stated that more than 200 cases had been found in Finland, whereas up to 1970 only about 100 cases had been reported elsewhere. However, reports since 1970 suggest that it may be more common ...
Diagnosis GeneReviews Affected males. The diagnosis of X-linked juvenile retinoschisis is made in a young male with the following findings: ...
Clinical Description GeneReviews X-linked juvenile retinoschisis is a symmetric bilateral macular disorder with onset in the first decade of life, in some cases as early as age three months. Affected males generally present with reduction in vision by early grade school. Affected males typically have vision of 20/60 to 20/120 on first presentation. ...
Differential Diagnosis GeneReviews While the presence of retinoschisis in an individual with a positive family history of X-linked juvenile retinoschisis establishes the diagnosis in that person, making the diagnosis in a male with no known family history may be more difficult....
Management GeneReviews To establish the extent of disease in an individual diagnosed with X-linked juvenile retinoschisis, the following evaluations are recommended:...
