A new genotype of the IDH3A gene causes retinitis pigmentosa, generating functional dyschromatopsia from early childhood

Introduction We report the case of a 42-year-old Venezuelan woman with childhood-onset autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa type 90 (RP90), presenting an unusual and distinctive clinical phenotype characterized by macular pseudocoloboma, very early-onset acquired color vision disorder progressing to severe functional dyschromatopsia, and early-onset severe posterior subcapsular cataracts. Her affected brother exhibited a similar phenotype, while her parents and the other two siblings remained unaffected.
