Abstract
A family with a newly detected X-linked syndrome including sensorineural deafness, mental retardation, dystonia and blindness was examined with full-field electroretinography in order to order to find out if the blindness was caused by a retinal degeneration. Six affected males and 2 obligate carriers showed no signs of retinal degeneration. One of 7 affected males had central areolar choroidal dystrophy confirmed by central scotomas in visual fields and an electroretinographic pattern consisting of an attenuated amplitude as well as a prolonged implicit time of the cone b-wave on stimulation with 30 Hz flickering white light.Keywords
