Characteristics of Anti-transducin Retinal Phenotype in Comparison to Anti-Recoverin and Anti-Enolase Phenotypes
| Features | Anti-recoverin | Anti-enolase | Anti-transducin-α |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Age * | 69 | 64 | 57 |
| Onset | Acute, sudden | Subacute, chronic | Sudden progressive |
| Ocular symmetry | Usually symmetric | Often symmetric | Symmetric |
| Presentation | Severe central and peripheral vision loss | Mostly central vision loss | Mild, patchy to global acuity and field loss |
| Course | Rapid rod and cone loss | Mild to severe progression | Mild progression |
| Full Field ERG | Severe equal rod and cone loss | Normal to severe cone loss | Reduced rod more than cone dysfunction |
| Multifocal ERG | Severely abnormal | Mildly to severely abnormal | Decreased amplitudes, Delayed timing |
| Association with cancer | Almost 100% | About 40% | About 25 % |
| Relationship of cancer diagnosis of retinopathy onset | Retinopathy precedes diagnosis of cancer by months | Retinopathy develops after diagnosis of cancer by months to years | Retinopathy develops after diagnosis of cancer by months to years** |
Average age of patients tested in our laboratory
In one patient, the presence of autoantibodies preceded diagnose with cancer
