Genetic investigations were performed in three brothers from a consanguineous union, the two oldest diagnosed with rod-cone dystrophy (RCD), the youngest with early-onset cone-rod dystrophy and the two youngest with nephrotic-range proteinuria. Targeted next-generation sequencing did not identify homozygous pathogenic variant in the oldest brother. Whole exome sequencing (WES) applied to the family identified compound heterozygous variants in CC2D2A (c.2774G>C p.(Arg925Pro); c.4730_4731delinsTGTATA p.(Ala1577Valfs*5)) in the three brothers with a homozygous deletion in CNGA3 (c.1235_1236del p.(Glu412Valfs*6)) in the youngest correcting his diagnosis to achromatopsia plus RCD. None of the three subjects had cerebral abnormalities or learning disabilities inconsistent with Meckel-Gruber and Joubert syndromes, usually associated with CC2D2A mutations. Interestingly, an African woman with RCD shared the CC2D2A missense variant (c.2774G>C p.(Arg925Pro); with c.3182+355_3825del p.(?)). The two youngest also carried compound heterozygous variants in CUBN (c.7906C>T rs137998687 p.(Arg2636*); c.10344C>G p.(Cys3448Trp)) that may explain their nephrotic-range proteinuria. Our study identifies for the first time CC2D2A mutations in isolated RCD and underlines the power of WES to decipher complex phenotypes.
