Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is an eye disorder that primarily affects the retina, which is the specialized tissue at the back of the eye that detects light and color. Leber congenital amaurosis can result from mutations in at least 14 genes, all of which are necessary for normal vision. Mutations in the CEP290, CRB1, GUCY2D, and RPE65 genes are the most common causes of the disorder, while mutations in the other genes generally account for a smaller percentage of cases. In rare cases, LCA is inherited as an autosomal dominant genetic disorder. Mutations in three genes, CRX, IMPDH1, and OTX2, are currently known to be associated with this type of LCA. Leber congenital amaurosis affects 2 to 3 newborns out of every 100,000. It's one of the most common causes of childhood blindness.
