Frequency and Clinical Pattern of Vitelliform Macular Dystrophy Caused by Mutations of Interphotoreceptor Matrix IMPG1 and IMPG2 Genes

IMPG1 and IMPG2 are new causal genes in 8% of families negative for BEST1 and PRPH2 mutations. These genes should be screened in adult-onset vitelliform dystrophy with (1) moderate visual impairment, (2) drusen-like lesions, (3) normal reflectivity of the RPE line on SD-OCT, and (4) vitelliform deposits located between ellipsoid and interdigitation lines on SD-OCT. These clinical characteristics are not observed in the classical forms of BEST1 or PRPH2 vitelliform dystrophies.
