ImportanceThis study identifies unique genetic variation observed in a cohort of Mori and Polynesian patients with rod-cone retinal dystrophies using a targeted next-generation sequencing retinal disease gene panel. BackgroundWith over 250 retinal disease genes identified, genetic diagnosis is still only possible in 60-70% of individuals and even less within unique ethnic groups. DesignProspective genetic testing in patients with rod-cone retinal dystrophies identified from the New Zealand Inherited Retinal Disease Database, ParticipantsSixteen patients of Mori and Polynesian ancestry. MethodsNext-generation sequencing of a targeted retinal gene panel. Sanger sequencing for a novel PDE6B mutation in subsequent Mori patients. Main Outcome MeasuresGenetic diagnosis, genotype-phenotype correlation. ResultsThirteen unique pathogenic variants were identified in 9 of 16 (56.25%) patients in 10 different genes. A definitive genetic diagnosis was made in 7/16 patients (43.7%). Six changes were novel and not in public databases of human variation. In four patients, a homozygous, novel pathogenic variant (c.2197G > C, p.(Ala 733Pro)) in PDE6B was identified and also present in a further five similarly affected Mori patients. Conclusions and RelevanceOver half of the Mori and Polynesian patients with inherited rod-cone diseases have no pathogenic variant(s) detected with a targeted retinal next-generation sequencing strategy, which is supportive of novel genetic mechanisms in this population. A novel PDE6B founder variant is likely to account for 16% of recessive inherited retinal dystrophy in Mori. Careful characterization of the clinical presentation permits identification of further Mori patients with a similar phenotype and simplifies the diagnostic algorithm.
